A 19th century English Waterfall Globe Wernicke oak bookcase, comprising four glazed sectional bookcase units above a panelled cupboard base with a single drawer.
Each section retains its original up-and-over glazed door with the characteristic Globe Wernicke metal side straps and fittings, allowing the sections to be stacked or removed as required. The cupboard base provides additional enclosed storage.
The oak has acquired a warm, rich colour with an excellent original patina, reflecting the quality and craftsmanship for which Globe Wernicke is renowned.
