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.
Questions About Bookcase With Shelves
- What is a shelving unit?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A shelving unit is a flexible piece of furniture with shelves that can be rearranged to accommodate various objects such as books, collectibles, sculptures and other items for display. It can also feature dividers and can be moved or adjusted for added functionality. Shop a collection of antique and vintage shelving units and shelves on 1stDibs.
- What is a barrister bookcase?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Barrister bookcases are made up of several distinct book shelf units which combine together to form the cabinet. This can be beneficial when moving, as the books can remain within the shelves and each shelf can move separately.
- What is a breakfront bookcase?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021A breakfront bookcase is usually a large wooden bookcase that houses either books or dishes. They’re similar in appearance to hutches in that they have glass-fronted shelving on the top and cabinets on the bottom.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Storage shelves need to be large enough to properly and safely hold items but not too large that items will get lost or hidden behind each other. In a garage 12” is a good depth for smaller items and 16” for larger items.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021There are several ways to mount floating shelves. The best mounting options include using floating shelf brackets, installing cleats, or placing figure eights.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021A bookcase with doors is also called a bookshelf, a bookstand, a cupboard or a bookrack. It is a close-sided unit that encases books and is designed to sit on the floor. On 1stDibs find a wide variety of antique, new and vintage bookcases today.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023Yes, there can be a difference between a bookshelf and a bookcase.

The glass doors helped to protect them from light and dust. Shop a collection of barrister bookcases on 1stDibs.
- What are IKEA bookcases called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024What IKEA bookcases are called varies.

Designed in a cabinet style, these bookcases’ glass doors protect books and collectibles from gathering dust and allow guests to peruse your treasured volumes.
