Reverse descriptionDepicts the Amber Room designed by German baroque sculptor Andreas Schlüter and Danish amber craftsman Gottfried Wolfram. It is one of the greatest treasures ever made by man: an entire room made of exquisite amber, from its four massive walls to its finely crafted furniture. Upon the walls of the room were enormous panels fashioned from tons of the purest Danish amber, which was encrusted with various gemstones and inlaid with gold.
