This is described as "Gustav Stickley Triple Door Miter Mullion
Bookcase"

#331
bookcase, the detailing on this one is much finer:

At auction this piece went for $35000. A 331 went for $17000. I
would
really like to know how those glass doors go together with enough
strength
to keep from falling apart under their own weight.

I'm trying to duplicate this piece in appearance if not exact
construction.
The bookcase will be quarter or rift sawn white oak with ammonia
fuming and
a shelac or Watco overcoat.

Not sure if this would add more work, but you could use half lap
joints, and then veneer on the outside face with the mitered corners.
You would get strength from the half laps, but the look of the mitered
intersections. It would be alot easier to glue up.
