All sections have an interior height of 12”, interior depth of 9.5”, and an interior width of 23.25”. The labels inside each section show a grade number of 299. This was Globe-Wernicke’s code for a bookcase made of quarter sawed figured oak with a deep rich golden finish and highly polished, brass oxidized hardware. The pattern 112 ogee top and base indicate that this bookcase was most like from the early 1900’s. These bookcases are perfect today for storing collectibles or any other thing you want to display but keep protected from dust. They fit well into decor ranging from Art & Crafts to mid century modern and contemporary furniture. All of the glass panes have a slightly wavey look when viewed from the side indicating that they are most likely original glass. As with any furniture of this age the sections show some signs of wear. They have been cleaned and waxed. The backs have been reattached where they were coming loose and two stop blocks for the sliding doors that were missing have been replaced. One brass pull is also a replacement. Please look closely at the pictures as they are an important part of the description. Questions are always welcome. See less
