Glass Bookcase Antique For Sale on 1stDibs
At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal glass bookcase antique for your home. Each glass bookcase antique for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using wood, glass and metal. You’ve searched high and low for the perfect glass bookcase antique — we have versions that date back to the 18th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 20th Century are available. A glass bookcase antique is a generally popular piece of furniture, but those created in Arts and Crafts, Victorian and Georgian styles are sought with frequency. You’ll likely find more than one glass bookcase antique that is appealing in its simplicity, but Globe Wernicke, GUNN and Minty of Oxford produced versions that are worth a look.
How Much is a Glass Bookcase Antique?

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 Glass Bookcase Antique
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A bookcase with glass doors is also called a barrister bookcase. Designed in a cabinet style, these bookcases’ glass doors protect books and collectibles from gathering dust and allow guests to peruse your treasured volumes. The name “barrister” owes to the legal profession — barristers are experts in case law in England and traditionally required numerous law books for reference purposes to travel from chamber to chamber, and the sturdy and portable cabinets that were used to do so earned this nickname. Shop a collection of antique, vintage, and contemporary bookcases from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
