Questions About 1940s Breakfront
- What is a breakfront bookcase?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021A breakfront bookcase is usually a large wooden bookcase that houses either books or dishes. They’re similar in appearance to hutches in that they have glass-fronted shelving on the top and cabinets on the bottom.
- What is a breakfront cabinet?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021A breakfront cabinet is a cabinet whose center portion projects beyond the end sections. Shop gorgeous breakfront cabinets at 1stDibs.
- What is a breakfront furniture?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Breakfront furniture is typically a large bureau or hutch used for displaying and storing either books or china. Breakfront furniture typically consists of three connected sections, one of which protrudes in front of the two flanking it.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022The difference between a hutch and a breakfront is their shape. Both types of storage furniture feature sectioned designs. On a breakfront, the center sections are deeper, causing them to project outward more than the rest of the piece. A hutch normally has sections of equal depth. Some also have protruding shelves. Find a collection of breakfronts and hutches on 1stDibs.

- What is a 1940s style dress?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021The most popular 1940s-style dress was the shirtwaist dress.
