House Note · About this piece

In 1906 a private library was finished beside a Murray Hill mansion, a place to keep rare books close and to sit with them in the evening. This bookcase brings that kind of evening home. It stands low and long, so its glass front shows every spine at an easy height for browsing from a chair, and its top is left free for the lamp you read by.

It is made of acacia with glass and fittings in antique brass, painted on the outside and finished in a warm wood tone within, so the books glow against the interior. Four adjustable shelves move up or down to suit tall art books or small paperbacks, and the case runs 67 inches, room for a long run of spines. It arrives fully assembled.

Run it beneath a window in a study or along a living room wall, with first editions and photograph albums on the shelves and a lamp, a framed print and a small bronze on top. This listing is for one bookcase.
