The crown molding at the top and the base’s subtle apron detail complete its timeless silhouette.
This piece is in exceptional condition for its age, with only minor signs of wear consistent with its use and history. Whether used as a striking display in a home library or an office showpiece, this Globe-Wernicke bookcase remains a collector’s favorite for its enduring quality and refined presence. 80h x 34w x 13d shelf depth 9 1/2
