This wall shelf was originally installed in a pantry adjacent to the kitchen of the Robinson House.  Though simple in design, the shelf display🦩s careful attention to the joinery between the side panels and shelves and to the expression of the subtle curves on the back.  The articulation&nb⭕sp;of the exposed dowel peg construction is characteristic of the Greene's designs for the Robinson commission.
