Barrister Cabinets For Sale on 1stDibs

At 1stDibs, there are several options of barrister cabinets available for sale. Frequently made of wood, glass and oak, all barrister cabinets available were constructed with great care. Barrister cabinets have been made for many years, and versions that date back to the 19th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 20th Century. There are many kinds of barrister cabinets to choose from, but at 1stDibs, Arts and Crafts, Industrial and Mid-Century Modern barrister cabinets are of considerable interest. Barrister cabinets have been a part of the life’s work for many furniture makers, but those produced by Globe Wernicke, GUNN and Hale are consistently popular.

How Much are Barrister Cabinets?

Barrister cabinets can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price at 1stDibs is $1,800, while the lowest priced sells for $600 and the highest can go for as much as $40,000.

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.
