ranworthbreeze Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 A number of you may be aware that I like woodwork especially carpentry. Here is a video showing you an antique German desk, I do not like like the overall style but the timber, finish and ingenuity that went into this piece of furniture has to be admired. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MKikHxKeodA?rel=0 Regards Alan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MauriceMynah Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 That was absolutely stunning! Right in my line of business, even though the nearest I've ever got to something like that was an Elizabethan nest of tables, and it was the second Elizabeth at that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffandWendy Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Now that's what you call a writing cabinet. I would imagine it would be hard to put a price on such a wonderful piece of craftsmanship. But I should imagine something in the region of £50,000. Nice to know that it is in a museum, for everyone to admire. The mechanism inside it to operate all the hidden draws, cupboards is truly amazing, especially the last piece of the workings, of the opening writing table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
