hidden drawer
Furniture's secret space
A hidden drawer is a compartment in furniture designed to be concealed from casual view—built into a desk, cabinet, or chest with no visible handle or obvious seam.
The appeal lies in secrecy: storing valuables, private documents, or contraband.
The antique secretary had a hidden drawer behind a false panel.
Figuratively, someone's hidden drawer contains what they keep private.
