The breakfront case comprises an upper and lower section; the upper part is surmounted by a foliate and dentil cornice with a frieze of alternating paterae and masks of Apollo within linking laurel wreaths centred on a portrait medallion of Handel, adorned with a ribbon-tied husk garland; the centre with a large circular foliate frame with beaded ornament hanged with carved fringed drapery, and containing twenty-one gilt metal front pipes divided by two fluted pilasters, flanked by plaster figures of the muses in high relief, Terpsichore on the left holding a lyre and Euterpe with a trumpet or pipe on the right, both with one arm raised to support husk garlands above, and standing on pedestals ornamented with fluting and with a ribbon-tied garland below a patera; on either side the case drops back to contain seven large gilt metal pipes between corinthian columns. The upper and lower sections of the case are divided by a prominent foliate and fluted cornice. The central part of the lower section is enclosed by two sliding doors, panelled with a large foliate rosette with a circular foliate moulding and a square frame of rinceaux arabesque ornament within egg and dart, the recessed sides with plain rectangular panels; deep plinth or skirting with guilloche-ornamented top mould.
