| This lovely American Antique Arts & Crafts Mission Style Solid Oak Bookshelf, circa 1910, is classic Arts & Crafts Mission style. Inspired by the works of William Morris and Gustav Stickley, the Arts & Crafts and Mission Style designers deliberately attempted to replace the more mass-produced ornate furniture styles with the simple lines of classical furnishings carried through in understated straight lines. Functionality and utilitarianism was key in the Arts & Crafts design. This Antique Arts & Crafts Style Solid Maple & Pine Bookshelf exemplifies just that, with its simple straight-line slats and shelf space. Constructed out of solid oak, this bookcase is very sturdy, and its top and three shelves afford plenty of room for showcasing favorite objects of art, prize collectables, books, photos and even the kid’s sports trophies. The Antique Arts & Crafts Mission Style Solid Oak Bookshelf measures, 39.00 inches H X 15.75 inches W X 10.75 inches D, and has been professionally restored. |
