Finding the Right Case Pieces And Storage Cabinets for You
Of all the vintage storage cabinets and antique case pieces that have become popular in modern interiors over the years, dressers, credenzas and cabinets have long been home staples, perfect for routine storage or protection of personal items.
In the mid-19th century, cabinetmakers would mimic styles originating in the Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI eras for their dressers, bookshelves and other structures, and, later, simpler, streamlined wood designs allowed these “case pieces” or “case goods” — any furnishing that is unupholstered and has some semblance of a storage component — to blend into the background of any interior.
Mid-century modern furniture enthusiasts will cite the tall modular wall units crafted in teak and other sought-after woods of the era by the likes of George Nelson, Poul Cadovius and Finn Juhl. For these highly customizable furnishings, designers of the day delivered an alternative to big, heavy bookcases by considering the use of space — and, in particular, walls — in new and innovative ways. Mid-century modern credenzas, which, long and low, evolved from tables that were built as early as the 14th century in Italy, typically have no legs or very short legs and have grown in popularity as an alluring storage option over time.
Although the name immediately invokes images of clothing, dressers were initially created in Europe for a much different purpose. This furnishing was initially a flat-surfaced, low-profile side table equipped with a few drawers — a common fixture used to dress and prepare meats in English kitchens throughout the Tudor period. The drawers served as perfect utensil storage. It wasn’t until the design made its way to North America that it became enlarged and equipped with enough space to hold clothing and cosmetics. The very history of case pieces is a testament to their versatility and well-earned place in any room.
In the spirit of positioning your case goods center stage, decluttering can now be design-minded.
A contemporary case piece with open shelving and painted wood details can prove functional as a storage unit as easily as it can a room divider. Alternatively, apothecary cabinets are charming case goods similar in size to early dressers or commodes but with uniquely sized shelving and (often numerous) drawers.
Whether you’re seeking a playful sideboard that features colored glass and metal details, an antique Italian hand-carved storage cabinet or a glass-door vitrine to store and show off your collectibles, there are options for you on 1stDibs.
Questions About Bank Of Drawers
- What is a bank of drawers?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021A bank of drawers is a piece of storage furniture that differs considerably from a chest of drawers. This furnishing is typically going to feature many more drawers than an ordinary chest of drawers might, and is often used interchangeably with the term “apothecary cabinet” because pharmacists used to require such a structure that afforded ample storage for classifying and filing away items in their places of business. Find antique and vintage banks of drawers today on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023A piggy bank is called a piggy bank due to its history. During the Middle Ages, people often kept money in pots made out of an orange clay called pygg. Due to the name of the clay, these pots were known as pygg pots. During the 19th century, clever potters began to design money banks in pig shapes as a play on the word “pygg.” After pig-shaped coin banks became popular, the term piggy bank expanded to include any coin bank with a whimsical shape or decorative details. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of coin banks.
- What does piggy bank mean?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023The term piggy bank usually means a coin bank in the shape of a pig. However, some people will refer to any coin bank with a decorative shape as a piggy bank. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of piggy banks.
- Is Jeffrey Banks a good brand?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024Yes, Jeff Banks is a good brand. The British designer's apparel from the 1970s is beloved by many vintage fashion fans for its unique feminine prints. Due to the quality that went into producing Jeff Banks pieces, many of the brand's retro blouses, dresses and other clothing remain in good condition today. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of vintage Jeff Banks apparel.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Zale Corporation originally took over Bailey Banks Biddle in 1962.

The new owner closed all but eight locations. These remaining stores shuttered in 2019.
- What is a file drawer?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021The term “file drawer” likely refers to filing cabinets. This is a type of office furniture that is used for storing paper documents in file folders. The two most common forms of filing cabinets are lateral filing cabinets and vertical filing cabinets. Shop for a variety of antique and vintage filing cabinets and other storage solutions on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To tell if a cast iron bank is real or a reproduction, examine the hardware used to hold it together.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022What a desk with drawers is called depends on its design. One that consists of a tabletop supported by a base with drawers on both sides is a pedestal desk. Pieces that combine lower drawers with overhead cabinets and shelves is a credenza desk. You'll find a large selection of antique and vintage desks on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between a dresser and a drawer is that one is a piece of furniture, and the other is a storage feature found in many types of furniture. A drawer is a storage compartment that slides out of a surrounding frame, giving you access to whatever you place inside. Dresser is the term for a long, low piece of bedroom furniture that usually features two or more columns of drawers. Drawers are also found in built-in cabinetry, bathroom vanities, desks and other types of casegood furniture. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of dressers.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024What a tall dresser with drawers is called depends on its design. A one-piece tall dresser may be referred to as a vertical dresser or a vertical chest of drawers. On the other hand, a tall dresser that consists of two sections stacked one atop the other is a highboy or a tallboy. Shop a large selection of dressers from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, you can remove filing cabinet drawers from most cabinets. However, the methods of doing so vary.

On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of antique chests of drawers from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A man’s chest of drawers is also known as a gentleman’s chest.

- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023A wardrobe with drawers is called a chifforobe or chifferobe. It usually features a large, roomy interior for hanging clothes on one side and a chest of drawers on the other. Chifforobes date back to the early 20th century, and their name is a combination of the words wardrobe and chiffonier, the term for a narrow chest of drawers. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of chifforobes.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022An apothecary cabinet is a cabinet with a great number of drawers. This versatile piece of furniture was originally used by pharmacists in the 1800s to store and organize medicines and herbs. Shop an array of apothecary cabinets from top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024To identify an antique chest of drawers, look inside and beneath drawers and on the back and bottom for any type of maker's marking. Researching these marks using trusted online resources may allow you to determine who produced your chest and roughly date your piece. If your chest is at least 100 years old, it is an antique. Should you be unable to locate the maker's marks, look at the hardware. Rose head nails, one-piece cast brass pommels on the drawer handles and circular rather than hexagonal bolts may all indicate that a piece is an antique. Keep in mind that hardware may have been replaced at some point and that there are many reproductions of antique furnishings. As a result, you may wish to have a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer complete the identification process if you're unable to identify your chest via the maker's markings. Find a range of antique chests of drawers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 1, 2024How deep the average dresser drawer is depends on the size of the dresser. The depth of dresser drawers ranges from approximately 14 or 15 inches to around 20 inches. The depth of drawers in larger dressers may exceed 20 inches. A dresser’s drawers will typically be deeper than those in a chest of drawers.
So, what makes a chest of drawers different from a common dresser? Dressers are short, and chests of drawers are overall taller pieces of furniture that typically do not have room on the top for a mirror as most dressers do.
Antique and vintage dressers are a staple in any household. Whether it’s a 19th-century solid pine or oak Welsh kitchen dresser you’re using to store tableware or a Broyhill Brasilia highboy in your bedroom, these furniture fixtures are essential for making the most of your space.
Find antique dressers as well as vintage mid-century modern dressers on 1stDibs. - 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To remove Broyhill dresser drawers, first take everything out of them. Then, pull one drawer out as far as it will go. Locate the latch along the inside of the dresser on the right side. Push the latch toward the track to trigger the release mechanism. Then, slide the drawer out the rest of the way. Find a range of Broyhill dressers on 1stDibs.
