There is a Exhibition going on through 1/27/2013 titled Extravagant Inventions, The Princely Furniture of the Roentgens
http://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2012/roentgen
The website shows details of the elaborate Marquetry as well as the innovative ways that the cabinets opened. Once on the site, make sure to view the 10 video links below showing some of the pieces up close.
Seeing these pieces in person is well worth the trip. They were all built in Europe prior to 1807.
Enjoy,
Marc Gaertner
