Finding the Right Storage-case-pieces for You

Of all the vintage storage cabinets and antique case pieces 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 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. Alternatively, apothecary cabinets are charming case goods similar in size to early dressers or commodes but with uniquely sized shelving and (often numerous) drawers.

Whether you’re seeking a playful sideboard that features colored glass and metal details, 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 1960s Buffet
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 22, 2019

    What you put in a buffet is a matter of personal preference. Traditionally, the purpose of a buffet is to provide storage in dining areas, so many people choose to keep dishes, servingware and glassware inside. However, you're free to use a buffet in any way that suits your organizational needs. Place one in the foyer to hide away shoes, bags and accessories, or put one in the living room to store board games and media. The only limit on how you can use a buffet in your home is your imagination. Explore a wide range of buffets on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    A buffet cupboard is sometimes called a sideboard in the United States. Buffet comes from the French buffet à deux corps, which referred to a storage and display case. However, a buffet technically possesses a tiered or shelved superstructure for displaying attractive kitchenware and certainly makes more sense in the context of buffet dining — abundant meals served for crowds of people. Sideboards in England and France were a place to keep hot water for rinsing silverware and from which to serve cold drinking water, but the pieces would later evolve into double-bodied structures that allowed for the display of serveware and utensils on open shelves. On 1stDibs, find a range of antique, vintage and new buffet cabinets, sideboards and other case furniture.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    Buffet tables and sideboards are both types of cabinet furniture. Though often used as a synonym for “sideboard,” a buffet technically possesses a tiered or shelved superstructure for displaying decorative kitchenware. The term derives from buffet à deux corps, a piece which is seen mostly in French Provincial furniture. A sideboard is a side-table with cabinet doors that is used for serving, most often in a dining room. In form, a credenza has much in common with a sideboard (it's not uncommon to find a sideboard in a foyer, however). Find a wide range of mid-century modern buffets and sideboards on 1stDibs.

    A buffet is a piece of furniture that usually goes in the dining room. Often made of wood, a buffet is usually around 34 to 36 inches tall and features cupboards and drawers. People often store serveware, dinnerware and utensils inside buffets, and the name of the furniture comes from the fact that you can arrange a buffet of food on its top due to its height. You may also see buffets referred to as sideboards. Shop a wide range of buffets on 1stDibs.
