    "This is a 1720's piece of furniture but it does have the appearance of a 1730's piece of furniture". I was thinking the exact same thing.

      Most of the desks from that era and the 1800's had at least one hidden compartment. Most modern (1960's and later) roll top desks don't have them, but any competent furniture maker can add them. I bought a fairly modern roll top desk that was in sad shape for $50 at a yard sale. I restored it and added several hidden compartments to it. When I displayed it at a consignment shop I put a sign on it stating how many hidden compartments it had. The store owner said that a few of the compartments were located by customers, but even he couldn't find the rest of them until he opened the sealed envelope I left for the new owner, that detailed where each and every compartment was and how to open it. One could only be opened if you passed a strong magnet over a certain flat spot, but only in one direction. Passing it in the other direction locked it after you shut it.

    I see quite a few comnents that its value would be much much less now. Id say(as an antiques dealer myself)that it would be worth 5 figures nowadays in a good auction. Pieces like this def plummeted 15 years ago but have made a good comeback if the quslity is v high. Normal brown furniture is def still worth peanuts.
    And it would be good to see more things like this on the roadshow again, real antiques.

It became tradition to spend Boxing Day at his house, and after a few glasses of red wine he would tell some tales of Antiques Roadshow. What we see is part two of the day, people come with their bits and pieces in the morning and are asked to come back in the afternoon if they have an interesting item. John said that they would come back having been to the hairdresser, best clothes and so on 🤣
