Liberty and Co. an Arts and Crafts Oak Overmantel or Hanging Bookshelf
POA
A Liberty and Co Arts and Crafts oak Overmantel or hanging bookshelf, with Motto by Sir Francis Bacon :- ' READING MAKETH A FULL MAN' ' WRITING MAKETH AN EXACT MAN'. With a green bottle glass door to the upper right hand side and a long bookshelf to the left with a further adjustable shelf below. The full quote wrote by Bacon back in the 1500's is actually " Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. " I guess there's just not enough room for the whole quote :)
