Lot 150
AN OAK LEGAL BOOKCASE, 20TH CENTURY the rectangular top above a dentil frieze, surmounted by a shaped three-quarter gallery, comprising five compartments in sizes, each compartment with glazed hinged sliding doors, on a plinth base 191cm high, 88cm wide, 36cm deep Legal bookcases were primarily designed for the purpose of travelling. They date back to a “circuit court” originated in London under King Henry’s reign, where Judges would often voyage with their court to assist citizens outside of their vicinity on a yearly basis. This required a practical approach to transporting their books. A legal bookcase typically comprises of a number of compartments - anywhere between two and seven - stacked atop one another. When dismantled, each compartment becomes a convenient carrying case. Globe-Wernicke, a furniture company founded in 1899, revolutionised the legal bookcase design. Otherwise known as the “elastic” or modular bookcase in either oak or mahogany, the bookcase was characterised by its glazed lift-doors. What initially began as a functional piece of office furniture has now become a decidedly collectable item, featuring in lawyers’ offices worldwide.
