Used Cupboards For Sale on 1stDibs

Used cupboards have been made for many years, and versions that date back to the 18th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 21st Century. There are many kinds of used cupboards to choose from, but at 1stDibs, Mid-Century Modern, Art Deco and Victorian used cupboards are of considerable interest. Used cupboards have been a part of the life’s work for many furniture makers, but those produced by Cees Braakman, UMS Pastoe and Paolo Buffa are consistently popular.

Finding the Right Cupboards for You

In any kitchen, dining room or other area of your home, antique and vintage cupboards can help you organize your space as well as support your endeavors to show off your prized collectibles and decorative objects.

Cupboards have long been staples in interior design as reliable and versatile case pieces, which have been a vital part of the home for centuries. Cupboards appeared in the Middle Ages and by the 17th century had eclipsed the chest in popularity as a piece of furniture for storage. New techniques in woodworking allowed furniture manufacturers to build pieces that were more complex than simple chests.

Early cupboards were often tall and were typically used to store linens. By the 18th century, there was more variety in the available shapes and sizes, with some pieces combining a chest of drawers with a tall cabinet.

Cupboards became large and heavy as their importance as furniture grew, frequently making them the biggest piece in a home. They could involve decorative elements like columns and cornices. Over the years, more features were added by furniture makers, such as glass panels for displaying items like porcelain ware.

Besides keeping the room tidy, a cupboard can set the tone through its size. Antique and vintage cupboards are built to last, and, with centuries of design choices, these structures are easy to match with existing furniture.

On 1stDibs, find a range of options for your home including new and custom cupboards, mid-century modern cupboards and original creations, like the weave quilt cupboards by Jim Rose. Contemporary cupboards with unexpected shapes and colors can add an element of surprise to a room. They also provide versatile storage while creating a modern effect.

Questions About Used Cupboards
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The court cupboard, a variant of the buffet, was used for displaying fine plates and other dinnerware. It is characterized by its three tiers and short height. Shop a collection of court cupboards from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
