The central compartment is ingeniously treated as an architectural interior in false perspective(fig. 2). Tinted ivory, gilt-bronze, mother-of-pearl, ebony, and mirrors combine to produce an effect of great richness. Corridors of mirrored reflections appear on either side, whereas at the back center a domed belvedere affords a view of distant mountains.
