A beautiful quality early 20th Century glazed dresser / bookcase in original and perfectly coloured oak. It dates from around the 1930’s and is very much of the Art Nouveau influence. We adore the classic Art Nouveau designs to the lower doors! The piece has been hand made from good quality solid oak. The weight reflects the quality of the materials and construction. All shelves are very easily adjusted on height or could be removed too. All doors lock with their original brass bolts, locks and two keys. Offering lots of very flexible and super stylish storage that you will not see in anybody else’s homes.
We think it would also make a fantastic and individual kitchen / diner cabinet to store glasses, cups, crockery etc.

Read more4 Section Globe Wernicke Stacking Bookcase in Mahogany
£0FREE 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.

£0FREE Ground Floor delivery on this piece within approximately 130 mile radius of Cambridgeshire. Further afield locations will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
A beautiful quality early 20th Century glazed dresser / bookcase in original tiger oak. It dates from around the 1930’s in the style of George III. It has original cabinetry, glass, escutcheons and working locks (one key). We fully cleaned and gently restored the whole exterior then repainted the top internal section with Farrow & Ball Wevet colour paint. This has given the piece the perfect mix of antique and contemporary. It is very stylish, classic in design and very flexible in the colours – to match a vast array of room palletes. The colour and quality of the oak is superb having aged beautifully over the last 90 years+.
We think it would also make a fantastic and individual kitchen / diner cabinet or a bookcase/ dresser. The top shelves are all very easily adjusted in height by around 2cm in each increment. Or shelves and supports can easily be removed if you need to store taller items. The piece splits in to two sections for ease of transportation and siting. The bookcase stands at 224cm tall so please check your ceiling heights carefully before purchasing. This is an impressive size that will certainly commands lots of attention.
Superb original antique chic charm with a very contemporary slant.

£0Free Hand delivery on this item within approximately 130 of Cambridgeshire. Further afield locations will incur a charge to send via couriers. We won’t send this via any of the Parcel carrier services.
A superb Fry’s Chocolate/ Confectionery shop display cabinet. Dating from the early 20th Century and probably 1910-1920, the cabinet is made from oak wood framework, glass and hand painted signage in gold. Most of the original sign writing is still in tact, as can be seen in the photographs. It would have sat on either the shop counter or floor displaying the Fry’s chocolate and cocoa products for sale in the shop.
The interior is accessed by two up and over doors, both with original glass and brass handles. Any original antique chocolate/ confectionery display cabinets are very hard to find in such good condition and are increasingly sought after. Styled now as a bookcase but could hold cups, glasses, soft toys, trophies, etc etc.
It makes such a stunning decorative piece that almost every visitor will want to see and admire.
