A Skeleton in the Commode . . .


At first glance this is such a nice piece of furniture with lots of detail and ivory panels. A handsome addition to any drawing room. 


That is until you read the inscription "les misères et les malheures de la guerre" -- "the miseries and misfortunes of war".

Charming.
