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.

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

Read more1960s Bookcase by Staverton in Hague Blue
£0FREE Two man ground floor delivery on this piece to most UK postcodes. Further afield and more remote areas will incur a surcharge.
A completely unique original mid century glazed bookcase, produced by Staverton in 1962. This piece came to us in such a terrible state of veneer and dirt. We couldn’t save the veneer so we had to rethink a complete refurbishment and reinvention. The whole bookcase was fully stripped back and refinished in Farrow & Ball Hague Blue, with a clear coat of wax for resilience and protection. The inside was fully sanded back, cleaned and re-varnished. The doors were all stripped, sanded back and refinished in Hague Blue then glazed with new reeded glass for a true contemporary finish. We love the finished piece! A real fusion of original mid century meets Contemporary practicality.
We have styled the bookcase as a mix of books and drinks cabinet but this could have so many potential uses e.g a kitchen cupboard for glass, mugs, cups etc, a spice rack and cooking ingredients store, a bathroom cabinet for towels and toiletries, a bedroom piece for hair and beauty products, the list goes on…… 🙂
Wait til your visitors see this one in your home?

Read moreMatching Pair of Solid Oak Mid Century Bookcases
£0FREE Shipping on this item within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield areas will incur a charge to send via couriers.
An excellent example of original mid century low glazed bookcases/ units, with original glass, shelf and supports. These bookcases were supplied by Hopewell’s of Nottingham, still in business today. Established as a family Furnishings shop in 1885, they are now based in Huntingdon Street but were in Parliament Street in the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s – giving these bookcases their date of circa late 195o’s to early 1960’s. There are plenty of signs of quality to the bookcases. They are made from very good quality solid oak with very nice quarter drawn oak (only possible on good quality oak). The shelves are solid oak too, with chamfered and rounded edges. The shelf supports and retaining holes are brass and brass bound. The doors are all their original glass with no chips to the edges or visible scratches. With their trapezoid shape (narrower at the top, wider at the bottom) they are a beautiful, heavy, matching pair of quality mid Century bookcases. They came to us as a pair and were probably bought new as a pair. We would therefore like to keep them together and sell as a pair.
Very stylish, flexible in their use, and easily accommodatable size. A superb pair.
Dimensions for each bookcase:
84.5cm High, 91cm Width, 33cm Max Depth (bottom), 22.5cm Min Depth (Top)
