Default A Very Cool Example of Exceptional Craftsmanship
From the web site:

Quote:
This is over 200 years old. Watch what it can do when they start opening its drawers.

This antique cabinet is over 200 years old. For a long time it was owned by King Frederick William II and you can find it now on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is by far one of the finest achievements of European furniture making. Watch what it can do and then remember this was all done with hand tools.

The level of craftsmanship in that woodworking is amazing.

It's very cool!

Sweet Jesus. I can't believe the shape it's in after 200 years.
The time it'd take to make something like that is insane, not to mention the time to design it, and it's most likely a one-off.
Thanks, Michael!!!
