Monte Carlo Writing Desk

Viscount David Linley, a luxury furniture craftsman, made this custom writing desk topped with a model of the Monte Carlo casino:

The main body of the desk is constructed in American walnut with inlays of Santos rosewood and sycamore, while the surface of the desk is covered in dark red leather. On the underside of the domed lid of the architectural box is a marquetry depiction of the Monegasque flag in red sycamore and holly. Six hand-carved figurines surmount the rooftop,and six secret drawers are each opened by a different mechanism.
