Early Wernicke Sectional Bookcase


1 of 5
An original Wernicke sectional/elastic bookcase with five sections, circa 1880. The base three sections are larger than normal to accomodate large books/files with the upper two sections graduating in size. The top and botton sections have nicely shaped cornices. All of the sliding doors have small brass handles. The original Wernicke company patented the 'elastic bookcases' also known as a modular bookcase. These were produced in Oak, Walnut and Mahogany, and are capable of being adapted to fit together to form a bookcase which could either be all of the same measurements or which could be re-arranged by the insertion of units of different depths and heights. The Globe-Wernicke Company was formed as a result of the Cincinnati based Globe Files Company purchasing the Minneapolis based Wernicke Company, founded in 1893 by Otto Wernicke, in 1899. This particular piece was retailer by Thomas Turner (Leicester) Limited.
