About the Item

An amazing trio of Globe Wernicke Mission stacking library Bookcases, circa 1940s. Made of Genuine Walnut, Finish Number 374. Unit number 3313-B. GG. D. 14 & 16 Horizontal Units. Each set features a stack of 5 with original glass, brass hardware, base and top. Two of the units have a 14"" shelf at the bottom, making them slitly taller then the unit along the left. There is an extra top in the event that you wanted to shorten some of the stacks. The extra top is photographed on top of the smaller unit which makes it match up in height with the other two. The Globe-Wernicke was an American furniture company based in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. The company was founded in 1893, and specialized in the design of library furniture and later on the manufacture of military equipment. The Globe-Wernicke was formed as a result of the Cincinnati based Globe Files Company (est. in 1882) purchasing the Minneapolis based Wernicke Company, founded in 1893 by Otto Wernicke, in 1899. The company is best known for their high-end bookcases, Desks, and other office furniture. Globe Wernicke established factories in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France and Germany. The company patented the ""elastic bookcases"" also known as a modular bookcase or barrister's bookcase. These were high-quality stacking book shelves, with a standard width of 34 inches, in oak, walnut and mahogany, capable of being adapted to fit together to form a bookcase which could either be all of the same measurements or which could be rearranged by the insertion of units of different depths and heights. These glass-fronted shelves remain highly sought after antiques desired by collectors. During World War II 90% of the company's business in the US was converted to produce military equipment. Measures: 33"l x 13"w x 88" h, shorter set is 86"; Shelves 12" & 14".
