A lovely early 20th-century oak barrister’s bookcase by The Globe-Wernicke Co. Ltd., Office & Library Furnishers, London. This classic sectional bookcase is constructed in richly grained quarter-sawn oak and comprises five glazed flip-up sections, each door smoothly retracting into the cabinet body.
