THE SQUARE PEG
Secret Vintage Booksafe
By John Masefield 1937
Re-imagined by Foolhouse!
The secret pocket that has been carved out of this retro blue cloth covered vintage book has a secret pocket in it that is carefully carved in the shape of a round hole. Square Peg? Round Hole?!!
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 or proudly put on display as an Open Book Artwork! A lovely vintage bulldog clip can be used to hold it open.
Each Character Foolhouse booksafe is lovingly carved and enhanced by vintage ribbon bookmarks. Plus, inside every book, a vintage illustration is specifically chosen to line the secret pocket.
These Foolhouse Secret Vintage Booksafes are a unique bespoke gift for any age.
These instant heirlooms have even been used for hiding engagement rings in as a proposal! we’ll leave it up to the one with the clandestine countenance to decide how it is used!
