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 Japanese Lacquer Cabinets
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022You can restore Japanese lacquer that has been damaged by exposure to light by gently buffing it with carnauba wax. Use a soft cloth to gently rub the wax into the piece, removing any excess and avoiding undamaged lacquer. Take a look on 1stDibs for a variety of pieces featuring Japanese lacquer.
- What are lacquered cabinets?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Lacquer refers to the finish of the cabinet, and provides a kind of glossy appearance. You would paint the cabinets a base color, and then apply a lacquered layer overtop for the desired look. You’ll find a large variety of lacquered furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Japanese lacquer is made of resin produced from the sap of the Urushi tree. Artisans craft bowls, vases, boxes and other items out of the material. Find a collection of Japanese lacquer furniture and decorative objects and art on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To clean a Japanese lacquer box, start by moistening a soft lint-free cloth with warm water. Ring it out and then gently rub every surface. Do not use soap as it may damage the lacquer. Dry the box promptly with a second soft, dry lint-free cloth. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Japanese lacquer boxes.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Japanese lacquerware items are finished with a sap that comes from the lacquer tree. This finish is prone to degradation, especially if exposed to sun and water, and age will take its toll as well. To clean lacquerware items, wet a lint-free cloth and wring as much water out as you can, then wipe the item. Finish by drying it with a soft lint-free cloth. Shop a range of antique and vintage Japanese lacquerware on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To fix Japanese black lacquer, take it to a furniture repair shop that has previously worked with the material. Lacquer is very delicate. Attempting to fix a piece on your own could cause further damage. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Japanese black lacquer.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, there is a type of varnish called Japanese lacquer. It is made from the sap of an urushi tree, which grows in Japan, China and Southeast Asia. On 1stDibs, you can find vintage and modern Japanese lacquered pieces from some of the top sellers around the world.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Yes lacquer is good for kitchen cabinets since it is hard and durable. Lacquer finishes tend to be quite smooth and seamless.
