Once upon a time only the wealthy had a need for books and places to store and protect them. Aren't you glad those days are over. If you did not have library room, bookcases were the perfect solution......and still are. Honestly I love any kind of book storage and display shelving whether it's built-in or free standing. However, antique bookcases have a special place in my heart so they are the focus of this blog post. I love the fact that they are actually pieces of furniture and I find them an extremely handsome way to display collections of wonderful antique volumes. People tend to lump bookcases and bookshelves into the same category even though they are two completely different types of display pieces. Bookcases are large free standing furniture pieces that feature multiple shelves, three closed sides, and usually but not always, glass doors. Bookshelves are basically a grouped set of wall-mounted shelves set up in ladder style. The antique bookcase is usually more unique and architectural than open shelves. With their European flair these furniture pieces add sophisticated elegance to any room.

Whether you use the Jaipur Bookcase for shelving or to display mementos, its handsome handmade detailing adds interest to any room. Hand-carved for us in the Rajasthan tradition, the ornate detailing makes this a functional yet beautiful piece. This bookcase is sure to add some British colonial style to an unexpected corner of your living room or bedroom. Wisteria products are primarily handmade at small artisanal facilities in a traditional manner, in small batch quantities, or often as an individually made-to-order item if it is a part of our custom or bespoke program. Naturally - this means products may have variations between two items that may have been made in a separate batch or at a different time. Thus, minor imperfections are part of the patina for these products. We want to share this with you so that you know what to expect and be proud of the uniqueness of your purchase. This is quintessential Wisteria and very much part of the DNA of us and our products. Several pieces in the line are also finished in a distressed or rustic style, and this style lends itself to showing off wood imperfections, distinct wood grains, and notches more readily than what a typical stain or finish would disguise. As patrons of the brand, we know you appreciate this difference - unlike many of our larger competitors who bring you factory-made products that are mass manufactured in state-of-the-art factories - we are focused on individual and small craftsmen for their artisanal skills that have been handed from generation to generation with a sense of passion and purpose.
