Antique Globe Wernicke Sectional Bookcase

This beautiful antique mahogany sectional bookcase was hand-crafted in England around 1940 by the famous Globe-Wernicke Company. Globe-Wernicke invented the sectional bookcase, which is also known as a barrister bookcase or a lawyer bookcase. It is especially significant that mahogany was used in this bookcase, since it was more expensive and thus better-made than oak varieties. Brass straps run along the sectional sides of the bookcase, forming a wonderful complement to the mahogany, and each of the doors lifts up and slides on a small metal rail. Some of the sectional doors slide with difficulty and do not close all the way, the bottom stand is missing, and the top four sections are screwed together. Otherwise condition remains excellent, with very little surface wear and a remarkably strong structure, which is expected from a genuine Globe-Wernicke bookcase. This elegant antique Globe-Wernicke sectional bookcase will continue to function in beauty and style for generations to come, so it would make a fine addition to any home or office furniture collection!
