we have seen our fair share of incredible furniture of the 15th to 19th Century periods. I must say, this specific cabinet desk is incredibly well preserved for its age. the fitting work and the design i have not encountered any at that level of sophistication and craftsmanship. The drawers the slides the compartments etc.. slide right out, the result that could only be achieved by big Masters.
