It is distinguished by its adjustable shelves thanks to a rack and pinion system, a technical innovation allowing height adjustment according to the format of the bindings. Before being a mobile piece of furniture, it was often embedded in the woodwork of castles; it was the bourgeoisie who made it an independent piece of furniture that can be moved as desired. Whether open or glass-fronted, it is the sanctuary of knowledge, once called "librairie" in old inventories.
