Wooden Figure Of A Lady With Built-In Clavichord And Draws, c. 1780, Germany
This curious cabinet conceals a clavichord and several draws within the figure of an 18th century woman. Secret compartments are tucked away throughout the figure including the back of the head! Asymmetrical draws are concealed within her bodice and her foot acts as the instruments peddle.
The figure originally wore an overdress and cap, as seen in image 2, and had previously been given a modesty panel to cover her cleavage. Little is known about who owned this unique piece but it’s certainly an interesting combination of historical dress and furniture!
