Antique book safe fashioned from a leather-bound volume of "Sermons du P. Giroust" ("Sermons of Father Giroust"), Tome I. The text block has been hollowed out to form a concealed compartment lined with marbled paper. The interior of the rear board bears a label reading "Paul Laurent / Graveur / 34, Faubg. St. Honoré / Paris."

The leather binding features a raised-band spine with gilt-tooled floral compartments and gilt-lettered title. The original French-language text, a collection of religious sermons, retains its printed pages at the front of the volume. The leather shows cracking and losses along the spine and board edges, with rubbing and surface wear throughout. The marbled paper lining within the compartment remains intact.
Dimensions: 4" L x 1-1/8" W x 6-3/4" H
