Narrow Bookcases For Sale on 1stDibs
There is a range of narrow bookcases for sale on 1stDibs. Each of these unique narrow bookcases was constructed with extraordinary care, often using wood, oak and metal. There are all kinds of narrow bookcases available, from those produced as long ago as the 19th Century to those made as recently as the 20th Century. Mid-Century Modern, Victorian and Scandinavian Modern narrow bookcases are consistently popular styles. Some narrow bookcases are too large for some spaces — a variety of smaller narrow bookcases, measuring 12.75 inches across, are available at 1stDibs. Narrow bookcases have been a part of the life’s work for many furniture makers, but those produced by Dyrlund, Gerald McCabe and Maitland Smith are consistently popular.

Finding the Right Bookcases for You
As long as curious people have collected stories, we have needed a place to stow them away and preserve them. When auction houses and book dealers proliferated by the late 17th century, the bibliophile was born. And, of course, as with any treasured objects, a book lover’s volumes were suddenly worthy of a luxurious display — enter the bookcase. Americans of means during the 19th century took to amassing art as well as rare books, and antique bookcases of the era, rife with hand-carved decorative accents and architectural motifs, were ideal for displaying their handsome leather-bound wares.
Although our favorite titles may change over the years, the functionality and beauty of their home within our home is timeless. Whether you proudly shelve your books in regal mahogany or behind glass cabinet doors, a bookcase — or perhaps more than one — is essential to creating a cozy nook for any book lover. Even those who don’t covet the perfect home library can benefit from an attractive display case, as bookcases can easily double as charming étagères.
Contemporary and customizable options make it easier for you to find the perfect bookcase for your style and stacks. If you don’t wish to fill your storage piece so that your collection is snug within its confines, incorporate extra space to allow for additional displays and decorative objects. And by introducing a striking dark wood Art Deco bookcase or low-profile mid-century modern design by Paul McCobb into your living room, your signed first editions won’t be the only items making a statement.
Find your dream bookcase on 1stDibs now.
