Retaining the original Globe Wernicke logo and label (‘Globe Wernicke – Office & Library Furnishers - London) in each tier, the bookcase is constructed of four main tiers with a cornice above. Each tier retains the original glass sliding doors, with original working door mechanisms and knobs. The bookcase measures 2ft 10” wide, so will fit in a compact space. The sectional bookcase is supported by a shaped plinth, with each section protected by steel strapwork. The sectional Globe Wernicke Bookcase dismantles into several sections for easy access and transportation.
The oak bookcase features a rich mid-brown oak colour having been cleaned and wax- polished by hand in our workshop, to a professional standard. The sectional Globe Wernicke Bookcase therefore boasts a lovely colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received. It would look superb in a variety of rooms, especially the office or library. It would suit either a contemporary or traditional setting and is a great investment, as it is extremely functional.
