That can probably be arranged...or one just like it. Ask around among rebuilders if they have any landfill pianos going out the door with legs that look like Grecian urns, and they'd probably be willing to saw them off for you.

I looked at a piano once that was apparently painted to match the room it was in ... several times. It had at least eight coats of paint on it, each a different color. The last coat was white with gold pin-striping on the fluting that looked like a six-year-old had done it.

Oh, and with several broken hammers, a questionable soundboard, and a bevy of other problems, the woman still wanted $1200 for it because "it's an antique". She also refused to accept my explanation of just how those (antique) chicken bones had gotten inside the piano.
