This secretary cabinet made by David Roentgen around 1786, might be one of the most facinating pieces of furniture in the world today. The beautiful writing cabinet is crowned with a chiming clock but inside, but he created an elaborate design of hidden features on the interior of this cabinet.
The doors and drawers can be opened and moved automatically at the touch of a button, revealing several hidden compartments and drawers. It's uniquely remarkable to see it in action and was fit for royalty. The model was produced and sold to three of the major European rulers — Duke Charles Alexander of Lorraine, King Louis XVI of France, and King Frederick William II of Prussia.
From the decoration, complexity, and size, this might be one of the finest achievements of European furniture making. Its current value is estimated at $1.5 million!
