Crafted in richly toned mahogany, the case features a solid, architectural form with subtle overhanging top, gently tapered legs, and an emphasis on honest materials and functional design. The proportions are well balanced, making it an excellent statement piece without overwhelming a room.

The upper door panels are fitted with original leaded glass, incorporating simple geometric and stylized heart-inspired motifs that reflect Arts & Crafts design principles. These decorative panels provide visual interest while still allowing light into the interior. Below, full-height glazed doors open to reveal adjustable shelving, offering ample space for books, pottery, or collections. The warm patina of the mahogany complements the leaded glass beautifully, giving the piece a timeless, understated elegance.

The bookcase is in nice antique condition, with surface wear, light scratches, and interior marks consistent with age and normal use. The glass panels appear intact, and the case remains sturdy and fully functional. Overall, this is a refined and versatile Arts & Crafts bookcase that works equally well in traditional interiors, period homes, or more eclectic modern spaces seeking a piece with character and history. 59h x 59w x 14d shelf depth 9.5 See less
