Hidden liquor cabinet disguised as a pile of faux leather-bound books, known as a "secret library." This is a trompe-l'Å“il work from the 19th century. The top features a decoration with gilding of a coat of arms adorned with a count's crown. The interior is furnished with a pair of square-section crystal carafes decorated with gold and topped with faceted stoppers. There are 6 matching glasses with a gilded rim; one empty spot suggests it was originally a service for 7 glasses, which may seem unusual. However, this odd number occasionally appears in some 19th-century liquor cabinets, intended as a spare glass to replace a broken one over time, which does not detract from the charm of this set.
