Shop Antique Shelves and Shelving

Antique shelves are customizable storage solutions that fit any organizational style. Whether you want to use them to organize your workspace or need more space for your growing library, our range of shelving options will get your creative juices flowing.

From small individual shelves to floor-to-ceiling solutions, we have it all. Made primarily from wood, we also have cast iron and metal shelves that can offer an exciting modernist touch to your style. Our best-sellers include Victorian, Georgian, and Regency shelves, but you can also find 20th-century shelves that showcase the finest refinements in woodworking techniques.

Bookcases vs. Étagères

Bookcases are extremely popular shelving units, providing ample vertical space without needing to drill into walls. Even better, they can store more than just books; your imagination is the limit to how you can use them.

Unfortunately, bookcases have one potential flaw — they can be bulky and easily overwhelm a small room. Etageres are a form of bookshelf without the backing, resulting in a much lighter construction. They provide the same amount of storage space, and their attractive construction makes them perfect for decorative pieces.

The lack of a back panel also opens up unique interior design options, such as placing the shelving in the middle of the room and providing storage access from multiple angles while acting as a room divider.

No matter your storage concerns, standalone shelves, bookcases, and etageres are versatile enough to solve them. Shelves are essential to any room design, from one or two shelf units for spice storage in the kitchen to full-length bookcases.

Finding Your Perfect Shelves

Your shelving choices can reflect your personality and style, but finding the perfect shelves for your home can be challenging. Browsing our wide selection can inspire your next interior design project, or you may already have something in mind when you visit our store.

One tip when looking for the perfect shelves is to consider their purpose. If you’re simply looking for storage, a set of wooden antique shelves may be the right solution, while etageres and modern shelves may provide a more decorative option.
