Used Bookcases For Sale on 1stDibs
An assortment of used bookcases is available at 1stDibs. The range of distinct used bookcases — often made from wood, metal and mahogany — can elevate any home. There are all kinds of used bookcases available, from those produced as long ago as the 18th Century to those made as recently as the 21st Century. There are many kinds of used bookcases to choose from, but at 1stDibs, Mid-Century Modern, Victorian and Scandinavian Modern used bookcases are of considerable interest. There have been many well-made used bookcases over the years, but those made by Poul Cadovius, Globe Wernicke and Mogens Koch are often thought to be among the most beautiful.
How Much are Used Bookcases?
Prices for used bookcases can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, used bookcases begin at $1 and can go as high as $15,675,000, while the average can fetch as much as $3,975.
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.
