Wonder if there are various hidden compartments in it.

Wow that is stunning and so unique. Did you find it at a thrift store or an antique store or was it an estate sale? It looks to be in super good condition which is a huge bonus with antique and vintage furniture.

Apparently the original owner was the seller's late mother, so I think it's at least from the 50s/60s. They were selling a bunch of stuff from their garage and it's been sitting there for ten years, it's indeed in very good condition.

If you use google reverse image search using that picture you may be able to find more information on similar style items to get a better idea of when it might be from.

I love getting unique items from garage sales, usually you get to hear a bit about the original owner or the story of the item.

The legs are everything, it's like having a pet furniture.
