How do you identify a Globe-Wernicke bookcase?
1 Answer
To identify a Globe-Wernicke bookcase, look for a marking. Bookcases manufactured prior to 1899 will usually have the maker's name stenciled on a slat, along with a patent number or other information. Furniture made during the 20th century and beyond is typically identifiable by a paper label. Often, the label also includes a grade, size or pattern number for the bookcase. You can find pictures of Globe-Wernicke stencils and labels and patent, grade, size and pattern number reference guides on trusted online resources to assist you with the identification process. For more help with the process, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of Globe-Wernicke bookcases.

Industrial Rustic Pair Modular Stacking Barrister Bookcase by Globe-Wernicke
By Globe Wernicke
Located in Topeka, KS
Handsome vintage Industrial Rustic pair of modular stacking sectional or barrister bookcases by Globe-Wernicke composed of distressed beige metal frames including 4 tall sections & 1 shorter section each with glass inset door fronts, metal pulls, & upward slide door mechanisms, 2 bases, & 2 tops. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, these cabinets have an all over distressed finish including a few nicks, dings, & rust that we purposely left alone as we appreciate the worn vintage look but they are structurally solid. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Early to Mid-20th Century.
