A Brief History of the Bookcase
Long reserved for palaces, the bookcase found its way into private homes in the 18th century with the rise of a taste for literature. It is distinguished by its adjustable shelves thanks to a rack and pinion system, a technical innovation allowing the height to be adjusted according to the format of the bindings. Before being a movable piece of furniture, it was often built into the woodwork of castles; it was the bourgeoisie who made it an independent piece of furniture that could be moved at will. And whether open or glazed, it is the sanctuary of knowledge, once called a "library" in old inventories.
