I wonder if there are even any craftsmen still around with the skills to build something like this now.

Imagine how heavy that thing is. All those mechanics. Would be like moving a piano.

Wow that's amazing!! No wasted spaces in that desk!.. I checked out a couple other desk made by that person. They sure don't make craftsmanship like that anymore.

I just did a little research. Not sure if it was this desk but a desk back in the day Louis XVI paid Roentgen 80,000 pound which is over 129K today in US dollars for a desk like this
