The central feature on the front is a gilded armorial within a badge held by armorini and delicate scrollwork and palmate decoration, within a stylised wreath. This is surrounded by four studwork trefoils. The hasps and escutcheons are surrounded by shaped studwork with a repeat of the large, six petal flowerhead below and trefoils in each corner. The wrought iron hasps, escutcheons, locks, key, ring hinges and side carrying handles are original. The leather bracket feet, similarly decorated in leather with studwork.
