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 Cabinets With Rattan
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    The difference between poly rattan and rattan is the material. Rattan is a natural material derived from one of a number of vine-like plants, while poly rattan is a man-made polymer designed to resemble rattan. Because it is synthetic, poly rattan is more resistant to the effects of sun exposure and weather. Explore a wide variety of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
    Rattan is one of the materials used to make wicker furniture and other furnishings. It comes from a plant that grows in hot, tropical regions of Africa, Asia and Australia. The quick-growing plant has a bamboo-like inner material that gets removed and fashioned into cane. Stalks of rattan (whose name derives from the Malay “rota”) are dense, steamable and bendable, which is why it lends itself to curvaceous designs and infinite creative uses in a way bamboo does not. Pieces of rattan furniture were welcomed indoors in the mid-20th century, and over time the medium has been put to use by giants of modernism such as Josef Hoffmann, Thonet, Jean-Michel Frank and Donald Deskey. Shop a wide variety of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    The types of rattan are cane, reed, synthetic, Himalayan and Manau. Cane comes from the layer of rattan just below the skin of the vine, while reed is the inner woody part. Himalayan rattan is a softer material commonly used to produce musical instruments. Found in China, Africa and Southeast Asia, Manau rattan is highly durable and thicker than other varieties. Synthetic rattan is a man-made material produced out of polyethylene and other polymers. Shop a variety of rattan furniture and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024
    Rattan is so popular for a number of reasons. For one thing, many people like its natural appearance and appreciate how rattan furniture adds organic texture to a space. In addition, rattan furniture is durable but lightweight, making it easy to move when cleaning or redecorating. Some people also prefer it as a more sustainable alternative to wood, as the plants that produce rattan grow quicker than trees. Explore a wide range of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    No, bamboo and rattan are not the same. Bamboo is inflexible so it cannot be curved to make different shapes. Alternatively, rattan is flexible and a type of climbing palm. It looks similar to bamboo but it’s more versatile and not as durable. Shop a collection of bamboo furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    The best method for repairing rattan furniture depends on the extent of the damage. Small sections of broken or worn rattan can sometimes be cut away and replaced with new rattan weave.

On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of rattan furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024

    There is no clear-cut answer to the question of what's better when it comes to rattan or wicker. In terms of strength, rattan generally comes out on top. However, the craftsmanship will also impact how long a rattan or wicker piece will last.

On 1stDibs, find a wide range of rattan and wicker furniture.

  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 5, 2024
    No, rattan isn't better than wicker — they're not interchangeable terms. The use of rattan stretches from prehistory to IKEA. To clarify, rattan is not bamboo, which is a rigid, hollow reed. Stalks of rattan are dense, steamable and bendable, which is why it lends itself to curvaceous designs and infinite creative uses in a way bamboo does not. Nor is rattan synonymous with wicker, which is a broader term for woven items — often made of rattan fibers but also of willow, other pliable reeds or even synthetic materials. Wicker and rattan tend to get a bit of a bad rap, but they can actually mingle with a wide range of styles — when done the right way.
