History of the Bookshelf


In past ages, books became increasingly valuable, especially those produced by hand.
In libraries, we already see the presence of the first large and very sturdy bookshelves, able to support the huge amount of books present on the shelves of antique bookshelves.
In the Middle Ages, display cabinets with glass doors appeared, where the most important and oldest books were placed.
In the 19th century, the wooden bookshelf began to spread in all homes, filling rooms with culture.
Bookshelves with display cabinets are easily recognized by their wide range of decorations.

 

Antique Bookshelf


Through the wall bookshelf, much can be known about the homeowner, their tastes, and passions, and this is no exception for those who own small antique bookshelves.
The wooden bookshelf manages to give a sense of warmth and welcome inside the home, of culture and curiosity.
The use of the corner bookshelf is not only reserved for books but especially for personal and family valuables.
In our catalog, you can find:
 

  • - Albertine style bookshelf
  • - Mahogany bookshelf
  • - Restoration display cabinet
  • - Neoclassical display cabinet
  • - Liberty display cabinet
  • - English and French bookshelves
  • - Bookshelf with display cabinet
  • - Antique English display cabinets

 

Mid-century Modern Bookshelves


Modular bookshelves are what we would call modern today.
Their characteristic? Well, they are simply simple, characterized by orthogonal shapes that allow the contents (books, photos, decorative objects..) to stand out rather than the shape of the mid-century modern bookshelf itself.
In our Di Mano in Mano catalog you can find:
 

  • - 1940s bookshelves
  • - 1950s bookshelves
  • - 1960s bookshelves
  • - 1970s bookshelves
  • - Formanova bookshelf
  • - Italian bookshelf
