  On both panels you see an ornament with 5 hands. You have to adjust the right ornament so that it is the same as the ornament on the left.  

To the left and right of the ornament see 2 pawls ( F and G)  that you can move up and down. This will block and unblock the circles A, B, D, E. You must first set the middle hand  (C) correctly. First turn the circles D and B at the bottom left and top right so that the hands point to the centre. Now put the left 2 pawls up and the right 2 pawls down, now you can turn the other 2 circles A and E to point to C. You can see on the left ornament that the middle pointer C should be down, so turn that pointer down. It should be like this now

then look at the latch (3) on the corner point and then push the drawer back a bit until the latch no longer blocks the corner point.  

  Zoom out and then zoom in on the top of the cabinet, pull the latch away and open the flap.  

  Now drag the lever to the mechanism, you now have to bring the red buttons to the right and the blue to the left.  

By turning the handle, the plate goes back and forth to the other side.  

There are more ways to do this, but it is not difficult.  

  When the knobs are in the right place, a handle will come up. Pull the handle upwards and an open cupboard will come up.  

Take the miniature well from the cupboard.

If you looked closely when you lifted the case, you saw that the latch (1)  turned from one corner point.
