just wondering if anyone had a better guess than the charles attribution.
i dont know if the bookcase has a label. i will check next time i am there. its not actually a trough. it has a slanted shelf that is hinged and can be lifted to make a flat shelf. it has keyed tenons on the sides.
no, not buying, just admiring and furthering my education.
..might have to stick with L&JG based on the following, left - from the 1906-09 retail plates in "Early L&JG..." book, and right from the ca1910-15 catalog reprint
