It is really amazing to see how clean and untouched the secret drawers are with the immaculate original ring drops still in place. There is even a tiny lock on the sliding well to the centre of the interior, a feature we have never seen before. A sliding lock is fitted to the long drawer below the well that is operated via the well. The working key for the fall also works the locks on all the long drawers.
