Antiques, Victorian in particular, are full of wonderful, hidden surprises. Secret drawers and compartments are some of the many treasures left for the new owner to discover over time.
An example of this intriguing and clever use of space and privacy is demonstrated in the design of the box desk, illustrated below. This beautiful box, made from rosewood with brass inlay, was crafted to store writing tools and supports but the real hidden gem is behind the lining, waiting to be unlocked! To find out more, visit our shop.
Another fine example of antiques with a hint of mystery is the bureau, an example from our stock is shown in the photograph below. This example is richly coloured with walnut veneer detailing. Hidden behind the internal workings are two secret compartments, possibly used for holding important documents.
Such secret features often found in antiques add an exciting element to collecting. You can explore these delightful mysteries when you are next visiting Graham Smith Antiques. You will be surprised!
