SAMARA Furniture and Its Use
In A Frank Lloyd Wright Designed Home
The Owner's View
John Christian
When the Christians asked him to do a weed holder for SAMARA he said, "Of course; but it will not be made of copper. It will be of Philippine mahagony like the rest of your furniture."
What resulted was a beautiful piece of pyramidal furniture 33 inches tall with a recessed square base and four sloping triangular-like sides meeting at the top resembling those built by ancient Egyptians for royal tombs.
In the late 1890s, Mr. Wright designed what he called a "weed holder" made of copper for one of his early Prairie style homes.
