A very good example of a Globe Wernicke stacking bookcase in walnut. With 3 glazed sections, all fitted with their original leaded light glass. The bottom section is slightly taller than the other two sections. This particular bookcase has the rare feature for a Globe Wernicke that each section is lockable. Original locks in place and keys supplied. Offered for sale in full working order and in excellent overall condition. Sympathetically repolished and waxed in our workshops, now with a great colour and patina, ready to go straight into the home.

Dimensions:
Width 87cms
Depth 32cms
Height 125cms

Globe-Wernicke was formed as a result of the Cincinnati based Globe Files Company (est. in 1882) purchasing the Minneapolis based Wernicke Company, founded in 1893 by Otto Wernicke, in 1899. The company is best known for their high-end bookcases, desks, and other office furniture. Globe-Wernicke established factories in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France and Germany.

The company patented the "elastic bookcases" also known as a modular bookcase or barrister's bookcase. These were high-quality stacking book shelves, with a standard width of 34 inches, in oak, walnut and mahogany, capable of being adapted to fit together to form a bookcase which could either be all of the same measurements or which could be rearranged by the insertion of units of different depths and heights.
