Honestly, the hidden joinery on a 1920s built-in at the Seattle historical society museum is the cleanest I've ever seen.
Ngl, I spent a solid 20 minutes just staring at the mitered dovetails on the drawer boxes, which were completely invisible from the outside, and now I'm wondering if anyone has a good source for plans or books focused on that specific hidden-joint style from that era.

My grandpa had an old roll-top desk with that kind of hidden work. Found a secret panel once that slid open with perfect, silent joinery, no visible seams at all. It ruined cheap furniture for me forever lmao.

Wait, they hid dovetails inside the drawer boxes? That's insane lol. @claire_campbell is right, that would ruin normal furniture for me.

Ever get that feeling where you see something so perfect it just ruins you for normal stuff? I totally get it.
