Amazing antique furniture piece

Post by charlese »

This desk (secretary cabinet) was built in Germany many years ago. No power tools to make this. It is now in a museum in Berlin. Take a look at the 2 minute video. Wow!!!!!!!!!

This trumps the fancy tool chests! At least it leads the list of precise wood construction.

The thought and planning is as impressive as the woodwork. Cool find!

That's what it's all about. The past masters make modern day masters look like they are still in kindergarten. That's an unreal piece.

Amazing desk. Makes it even cooler to know Roentgen made it, or at least had it made.
