Holzkorpus mit Samt bezogen, Ormolu-Beschläge, Buchstabenkombinationsschloss, Deckel mit Bügelhenkel an Masquarons. Schlüssel des Buchstabenschlosses als Schild tragender Putto gestaltet.
Architektonischer Aufbau mit Renaissance-Pfeilern, Ornamentgesimsen und einmontierten Portraitmedaillons und Kartuschen mit Weltkugel und darunterliegenden Herzen, sodass die Vermutung naheliegt, dass es sich hier einst um ein Hochzeitsgeschenk handelte. Innen mit noch weitestgehend intaktem rotem Samt tapeziert. Außen Samtbezug verschossen. Bodendecke erneuert, eine Plakette ergänzt, Alters- und Gebrauchssp.
