Description
This is an original, vintage piece that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in very good, used condition. We have given the bookcase a thorough check and clean inside and out, and the exterior surfaces have been carefully restored, a process that involved chemically stripping away the original finish (gentler than sanding ensuring the vintage character of the piece isn’t removed entirely), followed by layers of oil and then wax polish for a durable, consistent finish. There are five component parts in total – the top section, four bookcases in two different heights (three taller in height and one small) and the base / legs section. They simply slot on top of one and another with no tools required. It is a freestanding piece. The glass doors of the bookcases lift up and slide back with Globe Wernicke’s patented mechanism. They lift and move with ease although we would advise this is done with due care and a gentle touch. The bookcase interiors are clean but with some superficial marks and scuffs from use as shown in our photos. As you would expect with an antique item such as this, there are signs of wear here and there on the exterior surfaces too including some small chips, knocks and light blemishes. These are minimal though and do not affect the appeal of the piece in any way – in fact they rather add to it in our view. When stacked the bookcase is solid and stable, slotting into place easily. There are no repairs that we can see. The Globe Wernicke maker’s stamp is can be seen on the inside back of all three bookcases. Do browse through our photos for an accurate representation of its super condition. Should you have any queries or wish to view, please do get in touch.
