How do I identify my Globe-Wernicke bookcase?
To identify your Globe-Wernicke bookcase, search the piece for a marking. On pieces produced before 1899, you will usually find stenciled markings on a slat, while later ones will have a label. Older bookcases will frequently list identifying information, such as a patent number, which you can cross-reference with information found on trusted online resources. Newer furnishings will often display the grade and size or grade and pattern, providing you with all the information required for making an identification. If you can't find a marking on your piece, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Explore a wide variety of Globe-Wernicke bookcases on 1stDibs.
