Sash shaped apron crafted from scrolled mounts over a dramatic tapering riser. Top removes to reveal the octagonal compartment interior with central lidded section. Adorned with gilt trim, the lid opens to reveal the clean wool basket within. Lid reverse finished with green baize to create a laptop sewing tray.
