The bureau has a lovely interior with a false floored secret compartment behind the door and two further secrets which are accessed by removing the drawers adjacent to reeded pilasters which flank the door; a concealed spring (one each side) can then be pressed which causes the bottom of the pilaster to slide forward and reveal a secret drawer (again one on each side). Such is the quality of this piece than even the secret drawers, not usually seen, are finely veneered.

Writing Desk by Abraham Roentgen This incredible transforming desk literally has hidden passages inside its hidden passages. At first glance, it looks like a beautiful, ornate piece of furniture. But in reality, many of its shiny brass embellishments are actually buttons which open secret drawers. Keep in mind all of this is achieved mechanically – No electronics were used.
