A tall, upright cabinet constructed from oak wood, exhibiting a rich, medium-brown finish with a pronounced grain pattern. It features two sliding glass doors that cover the front, allowing visibility of the interior shelves. The doors are divided into sections, with the upper portion of each door showcasing a decorative stained-glass panel. These panels consist of a geometric pattern with small rectangular and square pieces of glass, some of which are green, set within a leaded framework, adding a touch of color and contrast to the otherwise clear glass. The bookcase has five adjustable wooden shelves inside, providing ample storage space. The shelves are supported by a sturdy frame with vertical side panels and horizontal supports. The top of the bookcase has a simple, flat cornice with a slight overhang, giving it a clean, unadorned finish. The base is elevated slightly off the ground by four short, rounded feet, which are carved directly from the wood and provide a subtle lift to the structure. Stylistically, the bookcase aligns with the Arts and Crafts movement, which was prominent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This style emphasizes craftsmanship, simplicity, and the use of natural materials like oak. The geometric stained-glass design and the straightforward, functional form of the bookcase are characteristic of this period, reflecting a focus on handcrafted quality and minimal ornamentation. The overall design prioritizes utility while incorporating subtle decorative elements, typical of Arts and Crafts furniture. Dimensions 41.75W 14.25D 58H
