Старинная мебель с секретами.

Такой "хитрой" мебели с тайниками и сюрпризами было много, я уже показывала бюро, кабинеты, письменные и рабочие столики, столики для игр. Но вот такое старинное кресло я вижу впервые:

Sheraton Revival Secretaire Pembroke Table

An Extremely Rare Sheraton Revival Satinwood Secretaire Pembroke Table. The sliding top revealing a section containing small drawers and compartments which is raised mechanically by hidden lead weights.
