Description
Now a much sought-after, antique collectable, coveted by booklovers around the world, Globe Wernicke Company Ltd of London made beautiful, robust stacking bookcases, designed for libraries & offices. This is a fine example, dating from the 1930’s, that has been carefully restored & is in excellent order. It comes in five separate sections – the top, three glass-fronted book shelves & the lower drawer which we believe is mahogany. The three glazed doors lift up & slide back to access books & treasures inside. Each book shelf section is metal banded for added strength & stability, & the bottom drawer offers further storage too. A very handsome, stately item of furniture that would be as useful in today’s modern home as it was, perhaps in barristers’ offices or a university library, back in the day. This is an original, vintage piece that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in very good condition. We have given the piece a careful clean & polish. The glass doors lift up & slide back with ease as they should (although we would advise this is done with care & a gentle touch). The bottom drawer is also in good order including the handles & moves with ease. The internal woodwork is clean & in good order as is the external wood. As you would expected with an antique item such as this there are signs of wear & some scratches & knocks. Please refer to our photos for an accurate sense of condition. The original maker’s plate can be found at the back of each bookcase section. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Dimensions H: 119.5cm / W: 86.5/ D: 32cm Delivery If you’re unable to collect this piece yourself, we can arrange delivery with some excellent delivery drivers who cover most of the UK mainland (please enquire for Scotland & remote addresses) that we have used many times before. They are reliable & insured. Their service does require some flexibility as they work to set routes so will specify the earliest date that they are next in your area. This is usually within 1-3 weeks. Antique Globe Wernicke Oak Three Section Glass Front Bookcase With Drawer
