Give your small treasures a place among the classics with this vintage 1961 book safe, featuring a gold foil stamped cover. Made from a real volume from The Story of Civilization series, it blends into your library while keeping personal belongings tucked out of sight.
Meticulously handcrafted from a real book, this copy has been transformed into a sturdy hidden storage compartment. Set it alongside your favourite books and keep your keepsakes close without putting them on display.
This Will Durant title comes from The Story of Civilization series. The 1961 copy gives a vintage history volume a new purpose as discreet storage, retaining its gold foil stamped cover and bookshelf presence.
Handcrafted from a genuine book, this safe combines a familiar exterior with a hollow interior for small personal items. This is a previously loved vintage copy that wears its age well, rather than a new book.
Exterior: 9.84 x 6.77 X 1.57 inches
Interior: 8.42 x 5.24 x 1.25 inches (height measured from top of arch)
