This stunning Globe Wernicke stackable bookcase is a classic piece of furniture from the 19th century, and would add a touch of sophistication to a home office or living room decor.
The bookcase is free-standing, and comes in 6 seperate section. The elegant stackable feature makes it versatile and easily to disassembled and reassembled the shelves in a different combination. All the bookcase doors have a beautiful metal floral handle to help slide them.
To three of the shelves are a 'Globe Wernicke' plaque, to show the authenticity.
Three of the bookcase shelvings have rollers to the back which help hold the slidable door fronts. The rollers historically were sprung, but this feature has previously been removed.
One of the book case shelvings is from a different Globe Wernicke bookcase and has a metal scissor mechanism, which has previously been fit with metal ring loops, to help it slide with the mechanism.
One of the shelves has a missing fabric door connector and one is ripped (see photograph).
The bookcase displays a warm oak patination that would brighten the home with a country style.
A delightful and charming bookcase that exudes a sense of timeless class to the home decor.
Overall, this antique bookcase in excellent condition, with historical slight signs of use and veneer wear, as to be expected (see photographs).
There are historical signs of woodworm to the back of the top section and a shelving section, but this has been fully treated by the previous owner (see photographs).
Some of the metal door handles have a metal plate surrounding them which are loose (see photograph).
All of the historical metal locks have been removed, but this still allows the doors to shut.
