18th century German cabinetmakers: What if we put a building on top of your desk? With its own clock built in?
Also featuring insane trompe l'oueil marquetry to look like a little room is inside?
And music that plays when you push a button to open drawers. Plus secret drawers and compartments!
IT'S 11 FEET TALL.
You know. A TOTALLY CAUSAL PIECE OF FURNITURE.
(It's the Berlin Secretary Cabinet made by David Roentgen and workshop, for Prussian King Frederick William II, 1779).

Finally the finished shots of the dining room project for @katiaperezdesign . This walnut sideboard has been fitted along one wall of the dining room. Weâve housed it within an alcove and have created a bulkhead to hide a steel beam. Remote controlled LED lighting has been recessed across the entire width of the unit. Towards the garden end of the room, weâve built a bench seat to match, with storage space within. Great care and thought has gone into grain and panel selection of the walnut to ensure book matching of doors and side panels. The seat will have an upholstered cushion on the top and back for extra comfort. The sideboard is being templated for its stone top next week. We will post further pics once the room has been re carpeted and the new dining table installed. Thanks again @ovi_ovi78 for your help on this install đ - - - - - - #interior #design #contemporarydesign #britishmade #handcrafted #bespokefurniture #handmadeinengland #interiordesign #highend #furnituredesign #woodworking #furniture #woodwork #craftmanship #customfurniture #cabinetmaking #bespoke #handmade #cabinetmaker #finewoodworking #cabinetmaking #design #homedecor #decor #interiors #homedesign #interiorstyling #livingroomdecor (at Surrey, England, UK) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnv79wSDeOz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
When I saw this picture it reminded me of the time I had to replace the kitchen cabinets.  Looking around at the big box stores, everything was âstandardizedâ and that meant it wouldnât fit easily into an older home.  Right down the road, though, is a cabinet-maker who was happy to help.
The cost? Â No more than what youâd pay at the big box stores, thatâs for sure! Â The cabinet-maker might not have the purchasing power of an international conglomerate, but they also donât have the expenses of those huge corporations or as many middle-men needing to get paid.
More importantly, I was practicing what I so often preach -- supporting the local craftsman.
Your culture is 100% dependent on your local makers who are 100% dependent on you!  Right now, kids are taking âwoodworkingâ in their high school shop classes even though there arenât any places locally where they can apply that training to make a living.  The local small shops have long since been shut down because they simply couldnât compete with the giant stores.  Think thatâs sad?  Well, it falls on the shoulders of the people of the community who turned their backs on their local makers because they wanted to save money.  The people didnât tend their garden.
Sounds rough, Iâm sure, but the idea that youâre âsavingâ anything falls short when you look around and all of a sudden there arenât any small shops employing thousands of people anymore.
Your culture depends on your participation and your stewardship. Â Itâs your responsibility to see it grow and flourish just like you would tend your own garden. Â That local cabinet-maker I did business with is in a constant struggle to find customers, barely hanging on, because the local people will go to the big box stores to buy a bed frame or end table thinking theyâre saving money. Â What the local people are actually doing is driving the small companies out of town rather than nurturing them and seeing them thrive.
This area used to have quite a few shops that made wood products, but theyâve all had to close down because the customers went away.  The shops didnât close down because they wanted to.  No, they sat there and watched as the customers abandoned them for chintzy, mass-produced âstuffâ that falls apart in a few years.  it was âcheaperâ at the moment, though, so that low price blinded the customers to the fact that it wouldnât last, and certainly couldnât be passed down to the next generation.
Tend your garden, folks. Â The choices you make ripple out in ways you canât always predict or understand. Â Tend your garden. Â
