Early 20th Century Mission Oak Bookcase – Solid Wood, Glass Doors, 3 Adjustable Shelves
An early 20th century Mission-style bookcase cabinet, crafted from solid quarter-sawn oak with no veneers. This piece features two glass-panel doors and three fully adjustable and removable interior shelves. The linear design and visible wood grain reflect the values of the American Arts and Crafts movement, which emphasized simplicity, durability, and honest craftsmanship.
Dentil molding adorns the crown, adding a subtle decorative element to the otherwise restrained silhouette. This versatile cabinet offers both display and storage potential, ideal for books, collectibles, or decorative pieces in any classic or transitional interior.

Overall: 44" (H) x 24.5" (W) x 9.35" (D)
Historical Context
Produced during the height of the American Arts and Crafts era, this bookcase exemplifies the Mission style popularized by makers such as Gustav Stickley. The use of solid oak without veneer and the emphasis on craftsmanship were hallmarks of this movement, which valued utility and integrity in design over ornamental excess.
