FAQs

Barrister bookcases, also known as lawyer bookcases, originated in the late 19th century. They were designed with modular, stackable tiers featuring glass doors to protect valuable law books from dust and moisture in busy offices.

These pieces are typically constructed from solid quarter-sawn oak, featuring distinctive grain patterns. They utilise interlocking modular sections, a separate base, a top cornice, and an internal scissor mechanism to lift and slide the glass doors upwards into the case.

Authentic period stacking bookcases feature solid timber backs, maker stamps or brass tags from manufacturers such as Simpoles, dovetail joinery on the drawer bases, and traditional hardware without modern Phillips screws.

This piece functions effectively as a focal point in a home study or living room, housing curated book collections, ceramics, and small sculptures while adding warmth and architectural character to neutral spaces.

Maintain the timber by keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prevent warping. Dust regularly with a dry cloth and apply a microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the wood grain.
