What is the purpose of a curio cabinet?
1 Answer
The purpose of a curio cabinet is to store and display decorative objects. Keeping items in a curio cabinet rather than on an open shelf allows you to still easily admire them and to protect them from dust and breakage at the same time. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of antique and vintage curio cabinets.
