They got really interesting (if perhaps a bit over the top) in the 18th Century. Take a look at the bottom of this page.

Thanks for this thread. It reminds me there are so many wonderful works of art and crafts by human hands. I will never be rich enough to order one of Barber & Harris masterpieces (nor have I use for one, considering my musical talents), but I am happy for this kind of art being kept alive by dedicated craftsmen.

More here (see also the harpsichords!):
