A Brief History of the Bookcase
Long reserved for palaces, the bookcase made its way into private homes in the 18th century with the rise of a taste for literature. It stood out for its adjustable shelves thanks to a system of racks, a technical innovation allowing the height to be adjusted according to the format of the bindings. Before being a mobile piece of furniture, it was often built into the paneling of castles; it was the bourgeoisie that made it an independent piece of furniture that could be moved at will. And whether open or glazed, it is the sanctuary of knowledge, formerly called "librairie" (bookshop) in old inventories.
