4 Section Globe Wernicke Stacking Bookcase in Mahogany
£0
FREE Delivery on this item within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield locations will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
A beautiful example of Globe Wernicke’s stacking ‘elastic’ bookcase. Wernicke Co. produced the Elastic bookcase in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the late 19th Century (founded circa 1882) until they were bought by The Globe Files Co. in 1899. Wernicke invented the elastic bookcase and patented the designs.
Once Globe bought Wernicke the famous brand Globe-Wernicke began producing the elastic stack able book cases under patent in the USA. Thomas Turner also started marketing the design in England. Globe-Wernicke then expanded in to Canada, France, Belgium and Austria.
This is a beautiful example dating from circa 1920 to the early 1930’s and presented in a very warm and rich mahogany finish. The sections retain the original Globe Wernicke labels for authenticity. Each section has the patented up and over door scissor system to access the inside. The Globe Wernicke bookcases are becoming increasingly sought after and this is a really lovely example. With four nice tall sections it offers very flexible storage with a real style statement.
All sections easily separate for ease of transportation and moving in to the room of your choice.
Dimensions:
148.5cm High, 86.5cm Width, 31cm Max Depth
Bottom three section 36cm high, top section 31.5cm high. Max internal storage depth of all sections is 24cm

£0FREE Shipping on this item within the UK.
This is an original vintage linen bus blind in a great size and super vintage condition. It came from a Bus in South Yorkshire first used in 1969. We bespoke mounted the blind in an antique white thick card mount and bespoke black wooden frame. With its age, size and condition the piece now offers some fantastic original vintage wall art. There are signs of use on the blind, as clearly this has been in use and rolled around many times but we would consider it in excellent vintage condition for the age. All part of its heritage and authenticity.
Such a different piece of wall art to hang wherever you choose.
