This beautifully crafted piece features a reclining feline form with stylized geometric lines and alternating dark and warm wood tones that highlight the natural grain of the mahogany.

The body is carved with rhythmic striped patterns and smooth, rounded contours, giving it a modernist / folk-art feel that blends perfectly with boho, mid-century, or eclectic interiors. The cat’s expression is sweet and minimalist, with carved facial details and a curled tail resting along its back.
A discreet pull-out compartment hidden underneath opens to reveal a small storage cavity—perfect for keepsakes, jewelry, matches, or small treasures. Functional and decorative at the same time, it’s a wonderful conversation piece for a shelf, coffee table, or console.
