Antique Glass Bookcase For Sale on 1stDibs

Find many varieties of an authentic antique glass bookcase available at 1stDibs. Frequently made of wood, glass and metal, every antique glass bookcase was constructed with great care. Whether you’re looking for an older or newer antique glass bookcase, there are earlier versions available from the 18th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 20th Century. An antique glass bookcase made by Arts and Crafts designers — as well as those associated with Victorian — is very popular. Many designers have produced at least one well-made antique glass bookcase over the years, but those crafted by Globe Wernicke, GUNN and Minty of Oxford are often thought to be among the most beautiful.

How Much is a Antique Glass Bookcase?

An antique glass bookcase can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $4,887, while the lowest priced sells for $1 and the highest can go for as much as $398,500.

Finding the Right Bookcases for You

Whether you proudly shelve your books in regal mahogany or behind glass cabinet doors, an antique bookcase — or perhaps more than one — is essential to creating a cozy nook for any book lover.

As long as curious people have collected stories, we have needed a place to stow them away and preserve them. When auction houses and book dealers proliferated by the late 17th century, the bibliophile was born. And, of course, as with any treasured decorative objects or collectibles, a book lover’s volumes were suddenly worthy of a luxurious display — enter the bookcase.

Americans of means during the 19th century took to amassing art as well as rare books, and bookcases of the era — rife with hand-carved decorative accents and architectural motifs — were ideal for displaying their handsome leather-bound wares.

Although our favorite titles may change over the years, the functionality and beauty of their home within our home is timeless. Even those who don’t covet the perfect home library can benefit from an attractive display case, as bookcases can easily double as charming étagères

Contemporary and customizable options make it easier for you to find the perfect bookcase for your style and stacks. If you don’t wish to fill your storage piece so that your collection is snug within its confines, incorporate extra space to allow for additional displays and decorative objects. And by introducing a striking dark wood Art Deco bookcase or low-profile mid-century modern design by Paul McCobb into your living room, your signed first editions won’t be the only items making a statement. 

Find barrister bookcases, Globe Wernicke bookcases, bookcases with doors and other vintage and antique bookcases on 1stDibs now.

Questions About Antique Glass Bookcase
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    A bookcase with glass doors is also called a barrister bookcase. Designed in a cabinet style, these bookcases’ glass doors protect books and collectibles from gathering dust and allow guests to peruse your treasured volumes. The name “barrister” owes to the legal profession — barristers are experts in case law in England and traditionally required numerous law books for reference purposes to travel from chamber to chamber, and the sturdy and portable cabinets that were used to do so earned this nickname. Shop a collection of antique, vintage, and contemporary bookcases from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021
    Mercury glass, often known as "silvered glass," is an antique decorative art glass made by glassmakers in Bohemia (now the Czech Republic), England and America from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth century.
