For sale is a beautiful three tier antique barrister bookcase (manufactured by “Macey”). Each section of this circa 1920s piece features a distinctive lift-up glass door that slides back into the cabinet, allowing users to customize their storage by adding or removing units. Glass is wavy (which speaks to the age of the piece) and intact, with no cracks, breaks, or repairs. These bookcases became immensely popular in law offices, libraries, and professional settings throughout the early 20th century, representing both functional efficiency and refined craftsmanship.

These pieces are highly valued by collectors of antique furniture, interior designers, and enthusiasts of Arts and Crafts or Victorian-era furnishings. The modular design appeals to those seeking versatile, space-efficient storage solutions that combine historical authenticity with practical utility. “Macey” bookcases remain desirable for their superior construction, timeless aesthetic, and the prestige associated with this iconic furniture manufacturer.

Approximate measurements: 34”W X 12.5”D X 47.25”H. Presented in good overall condition (with wear consistent with age and use). Base shows a small break in the wood frame (see picture); do not affect functionality or presentation as a whole. A wonderful antique find to display your favourite books and treasures!!
