The upper door has geometric leaded glazing, while the lower door has plain glass. Small round pulls and brass-colored side bands provide restrained accents. The lift-up doors slide back to open the shelves, and the surviving interior label identifies Globe-Wernicke.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe two shelf heights give the compact case a balanced profile, with the patterned upper glass adding interest without hiding what is displayed inside.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nGlobe-Wernicke marketed its modular \"Elastic\" bookcases so a library could grow one section at a time, a system shown in the company's early twentieth-century catalogs.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe case has scratches, scuffs, small finish losses, and chips, particularly at the back and lower edges. One panel in the upper glazed door is cracked, and the existing record also notes a crack in the wooden framing behind that glass. The photos show both doors open and closed; the damaged upper section should be handled with care.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n34\" W x 12\" D x 38.5\" H\u003cbr\u003e\nTop: 32\" W x 9.5\" D x 8.5\" H\u003cbr\u003e\nBottom: 32\" W x 9.5\" D x 12\" H\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMM - 13911 - 062425\u003cbr\u003e\nMM - 100126\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece will need to ship via freight.
