Most Amazing desk

This has to be one of the best examples of craftsmanship in the world:

And to think the guy who made this over two hundred years ago did it with hand tools alone.




Bang it here @ Amazing Antique Desk.

Oh Wow, Dino! I was prepared to be astonished by your work, but that old desk? Can you imagine how many craftsmen were employed nailing down the mechanicals, alone?

Dino,
Do you know where it is?
I will be in Berlin next week - with all the references to "Berlin" in the video, my curiosity is AROUSED!!!

Looks like it is at the MET

What is even more incredible is that it was kept up so well for so long.

The video is from 2012. It may be back to the museum in Berlin now. http://www.smb-digital.de/eMuseumPl...htbox_3x4&sp=0&sp=Sdetail&sp=0&sp=F&sp=T&sp=8
