Curious Book-shaped Commode Forming A Stool,early 20th Century

Charming and unusual little living-room commode simulating a stack of four bound books.
it can accessorize as a sideboard,stool or small footboard.

The front realistically imitates richly decorated antique book spines, while the sides are treated in marbled paper in the spirit of 19th-century bindings.

The top tray, simulating a large in-folio sheathed in embossed leather-like paper, opens to reveal a lined interior, revealing its original function.

We note the presence of a side compartment, probably intended for accessories.

The set rests on a beechwood base with four turned legs, bringing elegance and lightness to this witty piece.

An object typical of the taste for concealed and fancy furniture in the early 19th century, both decorative and conversation piece, but made in the early 20th century.
