Antique Bookcase Shelf For Sale on 1stDibs

Find many varieties of an authentic antique bookcase shelf available at 1stDibs. Frequently made of wood, oak and mahogany, every antique bookcase shelf was constructed with great care. There are many kinds of the antique bookcase shelf you’re looking for, from those produced as long ago as the 19th Century to those made as recently as the 20th Century. When you’re browsing for the right antique bookcase shelf, those designed in Arts and Crafts, Victorian and Art Deco styles are of considerable interest. Many designers have produced at least one well-made antique bookcase shelf over the years, but those crafted by Bruno Paul are often thought to be among the most beautiful.

How Much is a Antique Bookcase Shelf?

Prices for an antique bookcase shelf can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, they begin at $300 and can go as high as $6,750, while the average can fetch as much as $1,748.

Finding the Right bookcases for You

As long as curious people have collected stories, we have needed a place to stow them away and preserve them. When auction houses and book dealers proliferated by the late 17th century, the bibliophile was born. And, of course, as with any treasured objects, a book lover’s volumes were suddenly worthy of a luxurious display — enter the bookcase. Americans of means during the 19th century took to amassing art as well as rare books, and antique bookcases of the era, rife with hand-carved decorative accents and architectural motifs, were ideal for displaying their handsome leather-bound wares.

Although our favorite titles may change over the years, the functionality and beauty of their home within our home is timeless. Whether you proudly shelve your books in regal mahogany or behind glass cabinet doors, a bookcase — or perhaps more than one — is essential to creating a cozy nook for any book lover. Even those who don’t covet the perfect home library can benefit from an attractive display case, as bookcases can easily double as charming étagères

Contemporary and customizable options make it easier for you to find the perfect bookcase for your style and stacks. If you don’t wish to fill your storage piece so that your collection is snug within its confines, incorporate extra space to allow for additional displays and decorative objects. And by introducing a striking dark wood Art Deco bookcase or low-profile mid-century modern design by Paul McCobb into your living room, your signed first editions won’t be the only items making a statement. 

Find your dream bookcase on 1stDibs now.
