Used Corner Cupboards For Sale on 1stDibs

An assortment of used corner cupboards is available at 1stDibs. Each of these unique used corner cupboards was constructed with extraordinary care, often using wood, mahogany and softwood. Used corner cupboards have long been popular, with older editions for sale from the 18th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 21st Century. Used corner cupboards are generally popular furniture pieces, but Georgian, Mid-Century Modern and Scandinavian Modern styles are often sought at 1stDibs. Gunni Omann, Bevan Funnell Ltd. and Omann Jun Møbelfabrik each produced beautiful used corner cupboards that are worth considering.

How Much are Used Corner Cupboards?

Prices for used corner cupboards can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, used corner cupboards begin at $202 and can go as high as $231,268, while the average can fetch as much as $3,532.

Finding the Right Corner Cupboards for You

Storage space is crucial in any home and proper antique, new and vintage corner cupboards can make all the difference.

Corner cupboards are different from standard cupboards in that they are tall, spacious cupboards with curved or diagonal fronts and triangular backs that are designed specifically to fit into a room’s corner, or they’re not freestanding and have been built directly into the room. This kind of case piece — one of the offerings in what was deemed “corner furniture” — rose to popularity during the 18th century in England and America, occupying a prominent position in dining rooms before they were later moved into kitchens. Overhanging tops and urn-shaped finials adorned Chippendale-style corner cupboards in the mid- to late 1700s, while Victorian corner cupboards were made in woods such as walnut and mahogany and featured decoratively hand-carved cabinet doors.

There is a case piece for every storage conundrum, and in dining rooms it was helpful to have items for meals on hand in a tall corner cupboard. Smaller corner cupboards were built to hang from ceilings while larger versions stretched from floor to ceiling to make the most of the area.

Behind cabinet doors with curved glass, the top section of a corner cupboard might house several shelves on which a family’s silver or dishware would be displayed, while the bottom half’s doors concealed whatever home goods were stored below. While corner cupboards are roomy and robust — and an antique freestanding piece is going to be heavy to move — it was the ideal way to keep serveware on hand while taking advantage of little-used corner space. Not unlike a stylish credenza or buffet, a corner cupboard isn’t merely a storage solution.

Crafted in a range of woods and embellished with brass or bronze accents, corner cupboards were striking furnishings of a certain era and will surely command attention in your home.

On 1stDibs, find antique and vintage corner cupboards in a number of styles, including mid-century modern corner cupboards, Georgian versions and more.
