      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.

      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

    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!

    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 года назад +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!
