Actually, looking at the cleats, I think I'd be a bit wary of the really long horizontal spruce cleats working loose. The linen work looks good.

To me, this is typical Hungarian work. I have seen this in several basses and not by the same Luthier. Barnabas Racz is one of the best there (now with a shop in Berlin as well) and I think my bass above was done by one of his former apprentices. I have had basses come in that he had restored as well.
Have a look at his work;
