The simplicity of line and structural detail for which Roycroft furniture is celebrated can be seen in the mortise-and-tenon construction on the sides of this bookcase. Clearly evident on the front of this piece is an orb surrounded by an “R” and surmounted with a cross, the mark of the Roycrofters.
Front, center: Roycroft orb; R; cross mark
