THE HEART OF THE HOUSE
Secret Vintage Booksafe
By Naomi Jacob 1950
Re-imagined by Foolhouse!
Every Foolhouse booksafe is lovingly carved and glued and enhanced by vintage ribbon bookmarks. Plus, inside every book, a vintage illustration is specifically chosen to line the secret pocket. The secret message inside is devised by ourselves, inspired by the illustration on show and if well-known – an original quote. There’s even a meadow of faux grass and a wee miniature secret guardian that sneaks up on you and keeps your treasures safe!
Book pockets vary in depth. This particular book pocket is approx. 96mm x 155mm x 14mm deep.
Hide it amongst other books as the perfect decoy or put it on display.
Foolhouse’s character-filled vintage books are rescued and sourced for their alluring titles and covers then transformed into unique Secret Book safes.
Each one is a limited edition – a one-off! All are given a Foolhouse bookplate so that you can write a message to yourself or dedicate the instant heirloom to a lucky gift recipient!
All books come complete with their original inscriptions or bookplate awards and are personality filled with individual weathering and foxing – all the better to fool those burglars with and easily passed over on the book shelf!
These Foolhouse Secret Vintage Booksafes are a unique bespoke gift for any age. The rectangular cutouts are loved by adults, children and teens to hide their precious treasures in, phones or pocket money – and to look like they’re reading whilst playing on their screens!
Most are able to hide a passport, pills, jewellery, contraception, money, love notes or anything of your musing! (Check pocket measurements for your specific ideas)
These have even been used for hiding engagement rings in as a proposal! Hide your rings inside, Great Uncle Crispin’s war medals, a birthday voucher or gift, or leave it up to the one with the clandestine countenance to decide!
