Miniature Doctor's Desk

A full size doctor’s desk with this level of workmanship and detail would be an incredible find, but this beautiful piece of furniture—at only seven inches wide—is perfectly constructed down to the tiniest minutia. The desk was made in Northern China out of Zitan, a wood prized by furniture makers for its strength and beauty. The joinery techniques, hardware, and crisscrossed shelf all impeccably reflect the best Chinese furniture design.
