An antique Globe-Wernicke sectional barrister bookcase, crafted from quartered oak in the distinguished Arts & Crafts style, circa 1920. This functional and aesthetically pleasing piece features a three-stack configuration, each section equipped with a glass-fronted door that smoothly retracts and slides back into the unit, protecting contents from dust while allowing for easy access. The rich, natural grain of the quartered oak is characteristic of the period's emphasis on quality materials and craftsmanship. Original Globe-Wernicke labels are present on the interior of the units, indicating manufacture by The Globe-Wernicke Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio, and detailing specific unit sizes along with pattern number. This modular design allowed for customization and expansion, making these American-made bookcases highly sought after for their versatility and enduring appeal. A classic example of early 20th-century library furniture, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of the Arts and Crafts movement. Measures - 47.5"H x 34"W x 10.75"D
