The two front doors and sides decorated with marquetry in the shape of flowers with mother of pearl inlays. Interior with shelves.

The model was designed for the Baltic exhibition in Malmö 1914.
The cabinet is made in a type of stout Swedish Jugend style, but in its ornamentation it points towards the more simplified and refined "Swedish Grace" style that emerged during the 1920s, and which Carl Bergsten himself was one of the driving forces behind.
