Arts and Crafts Bookcase
Rift and quartered white oak with copper and pewter
inlay. 38½" wide; 60" high.
This Arts and Crafts piece was inspired by a Larkin Soap
china cabinet. The Larkin Soap Company pioneered direct marketing
and gave away a variety of premiums, including furniture, as incentives
to buy their toilet soaps in the early 1900's.
