There are few genuine antique barrister bookcases showing up at auctions anymore and often times when one can be found it is often in poor conditions. However for antique lovers this rare find is truly a gem.
One reason we have a hard time finding barrister bookcases dating back to the late 19th century is because collector who own these pieces are reluctant to sell them. For this reason people who find one even in poor condition will often buy it and have it restored.
3 Shelves Bookcase
Some people question whether restored antique pieces lose any value in the restoration process. The answer depends on several factors. The most important factor is the qualification of the person who did the restoration? Only a skilled professional can restore an antique, using non invasive techniques that can maintain the value of the piece, the addition of glass and hardware has to be considered and done correctly. Often restoration of a barrister bookcase will in fact make it more valuable than keeping it in bad condition.
If you are looking for an antique barrister bookcase, you can perhaps find one in a local antique store, but the search will more than likely be slow and difficult. A better option might be to look at online options as they have access to a wider market. Your location will also make a difference in your luck of finding the right antique for you. There are some bookcases showing at antique auctions in Europe, very few in the US.
It then becomes a question on whether it is worth paying for the shipping or not.You can expect to pay anywhere from 0 to 00 for a 3 shelf barrister bookcase. Figuring the shipping cost from Europe will likely double your expenditure.
