Low mid-century Bookshelf by Heywood-Wakefield
Located in Trenton, NJ
Bring home a classic slice of mid-century modern history with this Heywood Wakefield low bookshelf, dressed in the brand’s beloved champagne finish. Compact yet full of character, the piece measures 36 inches wide by 11 inches deep and stands 32.5 inches tall—a versatile size for any room needing a little extra storage with a whole lot of style.
This bookshelf exemplifies the best of mid-century craftsmanship. The solid maple frame, gracefully softened at the edges, creates a gentle silhouette that complements both vintage and contemporary interiors. The champagne finish enhances the natural grain of the wood, producing a soft golden sheen that feels warm and inviting.
It features two adjustable height shelves offering three levels of open storage—ideal for books, ceramics, or small plants. Whether you're filling it with classic novels or showcasing collectibles, the design encourages personalization. The shallow depth keeps the footprint minimal while still offering ample display space.
The bookshelf’s low profile makes it an excellent choice for under windows or as a base for wall art. It’s a flexible piece that transitions easily from room to room and function to function—from a child’s room bookshelf to an entryway...

Vintage and Antique Bookcases for Sale: Shop Art Deco Bookcases, Globe Wernicke Bookcases and Barrister Bookcases on 1stDibs
Whether you proudly shelve your books in regal mahogany or behind glass cabinet doors, an antique bookcase — or perhaps more than one — is essential to creating a cozy nook for any book lover.
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 decorative objects or collectibles, 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 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. 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 barrister bookcases, Globe Wernicke bookcases, bookcases with doors and other vintage and antique bookcases on 1stDibs now.
