Literary Conveniences, Trompe-l'oeil, Toilet Stool, 1840s Period

Beautiful and curious piece of furniture for “bookworms” under King Louis Philippe reign, this pretty stool with fake books opened with lid, revealing a very useful chamber pot…. See similar one on Chatellerault museum, last photo.
Overall good condition, no flaws; the previous owner lined inside, very clean, practical with 2 compartments and lid.
Unusual antique furniture.
Dimensions = 50cm x 45cm and 35cm.
