    In this video, David Harvey talks to us about Secret Compartments that may be found in Antique Furniture and focuses on a beautiful Escritoire that contains many surprising secrets! We are led on a wonderful journey of discovery and intrigue as we try to answer who would have owned this piece originally and what were they hiding?

    And it's been a priviledge to see this wonderful piece and hear your discoveries and knowledge regarding it. Thank you.

      I get a real kick out of finding secret compartments in a piece that generations of a family probably didn't even know existed. I have yet to find any gold coins but will keep trying! David

    I have enough trouble squaring up a board with nice power tools in a nice shop with good lighting. It blows my mind how someone could build such a beautiful work of art with hand tools.

    Wonderful stuff. I have just discovered your channel and subscribed already. Thank you so much. My grandfather was a cabinet-maker and I inherited his love for fine furniture. I enjoy reading about it and watching excellent videos like yours. Greetings from Argentina.

    Your videos are delightful! I am always on the lookout for furniture with secret compartments here in Australia. I am now the lucky and contented owner of some beautiful pieces with lots of compartments but, alas, I have not yet found any with secret hideyholes!

    • @WRHarveyAntiquesLtd

      It is even more breathtaking in real life like so many of these centuries old pieces and yet they are as useful and functioning today as the day they were made. David

    Delightful. I can empathise with the husband. I've a bad habit of remembering only *that* I hid something, and not at all *where* I hid it. I'm not sure I'd ever find anything again if I owned a cabinet like that.

    • @WRHarveyAntiquesLtd
      @WRHarveyAntiquesLtd  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I still find the different ways in which these skilled makers provided hidden compartments and boxes fascinating and look forward to seeing what the next acquisition has to offer. David

    I live in America New York and I just found an English writing slope with 2 hidden drawers. I actually found it in the trash on the side of a road! If you could supply me with your email I could send you some pictures, and maybe you could tell me if its valuable? Thank you and I've enjoyed your videos
