Lacquered Edwardian style faux book spine waste paper basket
£1,200
This quirky, stylish novelty piece makes an immediate impression, decorated as it is in the Edwardian style with Trompe L'oeil book spines to make its structure.
A peculiar and stylish piece, this object is a lacquered waste paper basket, made in England in the late 20th century in the style of Kenneth Neame.
It uses faux book spines in a circle to create the impression of a library from each side, with the spines labelled 'Royal Academy Pictures,' in leather with red bands, in the Edwardian style.
A quirky and characterful piece, designed to make a mark, it will add a charming antique English Trompe L'oeil effect, a stylish choice over the contemporary alternative.
