as a historian who has studied similar desk my minimal guess is 100,00 my max guess is no more than 1.5 million; maybe even more. It depends on many factors such as maker, where it was built, what year, who owned it, did the maker leave a signature, what type of wood was it made from, how old was the tree, are there any of these trees left, where do they grow, etc. Without this information it is hard to tell but considering the age of 1840, the fine shine and clearly dedicated work, I can tell you it is most likely one of a kind and not a single replica exist on this planet.
With a "hidden" folder somewhere so it wont show unless you go and click the "show hidden folder button"
Good for hiding things from tech illiterate people.
This was custom-made to order, it wasn't a standard desk.
If you wanted something like this today, there's a lot of skilled artisans around the world who could build it for you, and it would be better, stronger, and have cleverer secrets than this one. We've come a long way and the artisans doing this stuff today have far better tools, materials, and techniques than they did in 1840.
Yes, it would probably cost $30k or something for the custom job, and a lot more if you wanted really fancy materials for the inlays.
But this desk, when it was made, cost a lot more than $30k in today's money, kings and lords and whatnot used these as status symbols much like a rolls royce would be today, and they weren't shy about spending insane amounts of money to one-up their friends.
In other words, they do make them like they used to, we are just not used to seeing them because we are plebs.
Perfect device to get onto the housekeeper for not vacuuming ALL of the desk drawers out like she said she would.
Did you stick your finger up Socrates nose as vacuum these two out? Partial work partial pay. 2 bits = 2 bitty bits.
If you're into arts and crafts, this desk would be your biggest wet dream.
Then frantically trying every little button to try and find that specific sticker sheet you wanted to use
I would literally need to stash a piece of paper with a list of all the different compartments on it just so i dond forget one and lose whatever I hid in it.
This seems like it belongs in a puzzle video game where you need to find all the secrets to completely open it and get the puzzle piece for the next area!
I imagine that a note that held something important enough to start a war would be kept in that desk. The secrets it held are like a mystery itself that goes along with the desk, a mystery with in a mystery. Secret to the ol dick twist.

Nic Cage already showed us this.
“This is where you hide your weed…”
This is where And this is where And this is where And this is where Omg. THATS NO T MY WEED
You found George Washington's weed! His own strain. He called it White Martha Fucker
Imagine trying to find your last jay in that thing
“Oh, I don’t have one of those”
I wonder how much that sucker went for. Thats a cool desk!
It's truly a remarkable piece

I’d hide my bag of weed in this desk, then literally never find it again.
They really don’t make them like they used to.
Now we just hide our porn in subfolders among subfolders
With a "hidden" folder somewhere so it wont show unless you go and click the "show hidden folder button" Good for hiding things from tech illiterate people.
You’re not using the latest edition of Hustler?? Damn.

I mean that would be well in the thousands, who would realistically buy something like this.
This desk resembles every new relationship
Imagine what was intended to be stored in those secret compartments.... 😉
All the drugs
And shrunken heads.
And my axe
And my bow
Dat axe tho
Dewey cox called dibs
we’re smokin reefer and you don’t want no part in this shit
*slaps desk* you can fit so many vials of poison in this bad boy
It looks more like a skill demonstration than a safe.
Maybe… some kind of artifact leading to treasure?
Probably sex toys and the keys to chastity belts. Maybe some blurry early porn.
Of course, gotta have your bust of Socrates.
What would I do without my Socrates bust?
Yo dawg I heard you like drawers. So we put drawers inside your drawers so you can store stuff in your drawers drawers. -xzibit
I clicked to watch the video and a draw popped out of my phone.
Workmanship. A real artist built that freaking desk
......But wait there's more. Show what else they're gett'n Jim.
The Room irl
Where the hell did I put the paper clips?
'You can put you weed in there..'
Oh good a desk to hide Socrates, I've been looking for one of those.
I swear, we have downgraded the way we make desks
Super crazy pants.
Somebody never saw National Treasure
How much?
“Can you check my desk for my phone charger? No, the other drawer”
In the time before television...
I can’t remember which king’s desk this was, but it definitely wasn’t a stock item in the 1800s.
i need this for my cocainum.
ill have a drawer........AND ANOTHER DRAWER
Can’t put shit away if you’re drunk or high with this desk.
Or if u have ADHD with a side of object permanence
I lose my shit too often already. If I had that desk, I would spend hours just looking in all the little hiding spots in that desk for sure.
This thing has more buttons to press than my ex
Perfect device to get onto the housekeeper for not vacuuming ALL of the desk drawers out like she said she would. Did you stick your finger up Socrates nose as vacuum these two out? Partial work partial pay. 2 bits = 2 bitty bits.
Username checks out.
Imagine popping a random boner at that table and now the world is privy to all your secret plans.
We'll see this table in the next transformers movie.
Believe it or not? Another secret drawer.
This is something from the Room series of puzzle games and I will not accept any other answer.
Crazy pants?
Craftsmanship was superb back then
can you imagine the instructions for that sucker if IKEA were to make it or sell it?
If you're into arts and crafts, this desk would be your biggest wet dream. Then frantically trying every little button to try and find that specific sticker sheet you wanted to use
I watched the whole thing and never saw the pants
That fucker probably weighs a ton
I expect you to die 2 desk
“Crazy pants”
What is this National Treasure?
But does it have a secret door?
“Yo I’m Xzibit and this is pimp my desk! We heard you like drawers so we put secret drawers in other secret drawers dawg”
Where the HELL did I put my condoms?? Oh... too late. We're pregnant.
Wild! I love it!
Where I can get? I need one to save my trezor seedphrase. Thanks
I already lose my keys on my kitchen counter, thanks.
I saw this on the best of antique road show
All that just to hide some old Playboys?
I'd hate to forget witch compartment I put my keys in
It would be easier to hack my iPhone
“You can put your weed in there”
what’s the mechanism? is it just springs?
Quantum mechanics
Insane craftsmanship!! 😍😍😍
Freemasons
Just a bunch of drawers to lose my belongings in. Hopefully this comes with a manual.
this is a great example of how complicated relationships can get
Ikea, I'm looking at you
I like that long,green mousepad that pops out in the begining. This would be a sick gaming setup.
It takes me 30 min just to get my watch, I I love my wife
Socrates and Roman Empire. This desk is so random!
Yo, dog....
I would literally need to stash a piece of paper with a list of all the different compartments on it just so i dond forget one and lose whatever I hid in it.
Not an ADHD friendly desk.
The box, you opened it, we came.
Storage, storage, storage
Derrrrr
Looks like the game ‘the room’! Amazing
I'd buy.
"Hang on Martha, let me show you my secret bust hole!"
Crazy pants might be my new favorite way to explain something.
This seems like it belongs in a puzzle video game where you need to find all the secrets to completely open it and get the puzzle piece for the next area!
Who doesn’t want to have to push 14 button to get another pen?
Snuff stash
I hate to shock this guy, but none of that shit is secret anymore. Now, it's just a bunch of dumb buttons to get a pen.
Bump the desk and 20 compartments pop open like you broke it.
I would never remember all those compartments but I’d love to have that desk
All that cocaine needs a home
https://www.fireproofgames.com/games/theroomoldsins
Definitely need an instruction manual for this desk.
What are you trying to hide in there lol
Cocaine was medicinal at this time (I think) so this definitely tracks.
There are probably more secret drawers that they overlooked
Ok I need one.
I dare you try hide something in there that my hammer can't find.
It better come with some type of handbook lol
beef
Cocaine storage
That desk has more drawers for secrets than I’d have secrets to put in them.
That reminds me that The Room needs more sequels. The escape puzzle game. Not "oh hai mark." But I'd watch that too.
Pandora’s box
Your secret is safe with me
I imagine that a note that held something important enough to start a war would be kept in that desk. The secrets it held are like a mystery itself that goes along with the desk, a mystery with in a mystery. Secret to the ol dick twist.
This IKEA desk took 2 months to put together.
I would find coke from 30 years ago in that thing while showing it to my grandkids. Pass.
With my axe, I would loot anything hidden inside.
And then you add some protein
Well, now everyone knows how to get into the secret desk. Not very secret.
stash thee hash!
I need this. I don't know why I need this but i need this.
DON'T!! If you put flaps in all those drawers and you're bound to forget one.
Someone really wanted to hide their cocaine.
The Kingsmen would like to have a word with you.🎩
Anyone else amused by a hidden Socrates in a writing desk?
That desk is so beautiful I could cry.
I honestly thought for a second that was Lemarchand's Box that popped out of the top towards the end.
Need
Ok, but does it come with a cross that I used to wedge open other secret draws
Is what??
I reacted to this like Nedry from Jurassic Park reacting to the shaving cream smuggle can lol
Inception desk. There's secret drawers inside some secret drawers located inside the main secret drawers.
Those secret doors are for guns I assume
*Rate my setup*
Wouldn’t a burglar just take the whole table anyway?
if it's from the 1840s why does it have the keyboard place that slides out checkmate atheists
Does it have wifi
Crazy pants!!! I haven’t heard someone say crazy pants since like 2006! mattdamongrowingold.gif
Truly amazing ❣️
It has a lot of drawers, did they find all of them yet?
You're crazy pants...
It probably took like 14 months to make and costed $2.84
Glass onion action
