Finding the Right storage-case-pieces for You

Of all the antique and vintage case pieces and storage cabinets 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 storage 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. Whether you’re seeking a playful sideboard made of colored glass and metals, 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 Cabinet With Safe
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021
    A match safe is a small portable box that is designed to hold matches and keep them dry. In the early 19th century, these boxes were very popular since matches were known to ignite unexpectedly when carried without a protective cover.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    Yes, there were safes in the 1800s. Historical records indicate that by 1820, some companies used safes to protect goods from fire. Following market campaigns in the 1840s, more companies and individuals began to purchase safes as an anti-theft measure. Shop a variety of safes on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    In the 1800s, safes were usually made of metal like tin plating or sheet iron. Fireproofing the safes proved difficult, and during the 1820s, specific mixtures of materials such as mica, potash lye and alum were used to line a safe’s interior in order to prevent its contents from succumbing to fire damage. Shop a collection of safes on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024
    Whether Vietri is oven-safe depends on the piece. Generally, most Vietri stoneware is oven-safe as well as dishwasher-, freezer- and microwave-safe. However, select stoneware items may not be oven-safe due to their decorative accents, and Vietri dinnerware, drinkware and serveware made of other materials may not be suitable for placing in the oven. Consult the markings on your Vietri pieces or the care instructions provided by Vietri for advice on how to properly use them. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Vietri stoneware.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    Yes, leaded glass is safe because the food or drink isn’t in contact with the glass for long enough for the lead to seep in. If you’re feeling a bit uneasy about it, there are plenty of glass options that contain no lead.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not lobster clasps are safe depends on how well they are made and what condition they are in. Finely crafted hardware in good condition usually fastens securely. However, if the hardware becomes worn or damaged, it may loosen up. You'll find a variety of lobster clasps on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, terracotta pots are indeed safe for use; however, the pots should be thoroughly sterilized before first use because they are porous and can absorb harmful chemicals or moisture. You’ll find a variety of terracotta pots from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Opinions on whether or not copper coffee pots are safe vary. Some experts raise concerns over the use of copper vessels and recommend that you only use ones lined with another metal like tin or aluminum. As a result, people may choose to use antique pots only as decorative objects. Shop a range of antique copper coffee pots on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    While a little copper exposure can be healthy, too much may be bad for your health and more acidic liquids can leech more copper out of the cup but this is still highly unlikely. You can also find unlined copper cups to be extra safe.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Acidic drinks like wine and citrus juices can leach lead from a crystal glass. However, unless the liquid is stored in the glass for more than a few hours, drinking it is generally safe.

  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    Yes, it is safe to paint a glass lampshade as long as you are using glass-specific paint. One thing to note: If your lampshade is translucent (versus opaque), the paint color will look slightly different when you turn the lamp on.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Some Royal Worcester porcelain is oven safe, however, any pieces with a gold band should not be placed in the oven. Royal Worcester porcelain can withstand a temperature of about 120C. Please note that oven mitts are recommended when handling and that the porcelain should never have direct contact with a flame. Shop a selection of Royal Worcester pottery on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024

On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Mikasa dinnerware.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021
