Description: Crafted by Gunn Furniture Co. in Grand Rapids, Michigan, this antique Arts & Crafts barrister bookcase from the 1920s is a stunning example of early modular furniture design. Constructed from richly grained quarter-sawn oak, the case features four stackable sections with original glass doors that smoothly retract to showcase your favorite books or collectibles. The design includes solid brass knobs, a sculpted base, and beautifully bookmatched sides that highlight the quality and precision of American cabinetmaking from this era. Each unit is self-contained, allowing for easy transport, reconfiguration, or expansion—one of the key innovations that made barrister bookcases a favorite among professionals. Its warm finish and architectural presence make it a timeless focal point for both traditional and modern interiors.
Fun historical fact: Gunn Furniture Co. was one of the leading manufacturers of modular barrister bookcases, and their designs were so efficient that U.S. courts and libraries across the country adopted them as standard office furniture
