House Note · About this piece

The library Charles McKim designed in Murray Hill held Gutenberg Bibles and medieval manuscripts, yet it was also a working room, where books were taken down, opened on a table and talked over into the night. This bookcase is made for books that get used like that. Its bevelled glass throws the lamplight back across the room, so the shelves glow behind the glass even after dark, and the books you return to most stay in view.

It is made of wood, with glass panels cut with a bevelled edge, a slanted rim around each pane, and fittings in antique brass. Four shelves adjust to suit tall atlases or slim volumes of poetry, so a mixed collection can sit together without a wasted inch. It arrives fully assembled.

Set it along a wall in a study or behind a sofa that floats in the room, with favourite books inside and a bowl, a small sculpture and a stack of auction catalogues on top. This listing is for one bookcase.
