The altar has an oval rondel on the front with an angel holding a trumpet and a wreath. On top of the altar is a vase flanked by two helmets. The altar is carved with acanthus flourishes, masks, and mascarons. The right plate is a design for the porch of a church. The tall double doors have fluted, Corinthian columns on either side. The doors are carved with rocaille shell cartouches. At the top of the door is an ornamental clasp with a winged shell and garlands. At the overdoor is a carved dragon and incense lamps. The plates are signed with Huquier's name, and numbered.
