    I saw a clip of this on Twitter and had to find the full video. This is the most fascinating desk I have ever seen!

    That is SOOO fascinating ! My son sent your post to me and said he needs a desk! I replied that I will save up my Social Security and buy it for him! Unfortunately, NOT!
    I can imagine the joiners and cabinet makers standing around when it was finished and admiring their work. It is truly a work of art ! Thank you for sharing this beautiful object. Interestingly, I have spent today with a Habsburg.....

    Wonderful! I am glad I discovered your channel. There is nothing like European furniture from the period 1600-1900. Congratulations!

    Incredible piece of craftsmanship. I wonder if there's even more hidden features that maybe have been overlooked?

    My favorite part of it is that there is a hidden bust of Σωκράτη. Beautiful.

    were the secret compartments of these desks useful or were they intended to show off the craftsmanship of the builder and the high class status of the owner?

    • @MacBorin
      @MacBorin Рік тому +10

      All of those, I think. Depends on if and how you use them.
      They might be used as secret compartments to hide stuff or just neat drawers to show off.
      But in any case, it adds features to a pretty thing without taking anything away.

    • @pyotr576
      @pyotr576 Рік тому

      Yes.
      Concealing things on and about the desk is a good thing
      The quality of the workmanship - it is after all, a Royal Commission.

    What a fascinating piece of furniture. Do we know who made it? How much did it cost originally?

    • @6to1
      @6to1 Рік тому +7

      This is one of those things where the question "how much did it cost" is pretty much impossible to gauge I'm guessing. Nowadays we'd think about the fixed and variable costs, whereas, this project doesn't even start without a monarch in control of an entire countries wealth and populace wanting a desk made.
