Finding the Right Case Pieces And Storage Cabinets 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 Ebony Buffet Buffet
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 22, 2019

    Buffet furniture typically refers to the type of table found in dining rooms on which a host or hostess can serve food buffet style. A buffet table is usually taller than a sideboard, but carries a nearly identical function and form.

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    A floating buffet is a cabinet that is wall-mounted in a way that floats above the ground. It generally has a flat surface that looks suspended. These buffets offer a sleek and modern look as compared to traditional storage options.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024
    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 ExpertOctober 5, 2021
    A buffet lamp can be used on a buffet, bedroom dressers, hall console tables, sofa tables, etc. They are identified by their long narrow necks and tiny shades. Find a variety of buffet lamps on 1stDibs to meet your requirements.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    The difference between a hutch vs. a buffet is the design. A hutch is a piece of storage furniture that has a lower cabinet and an upper storage area with shelves that are open or placed behind doors. A buffet lacks this top storage area. Some hutches feature detachable tops and can convert into buffets. Find a variety of dining room furniture on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    Buffet lamps, also known as console lamps or candlestick lamps, are light fixtures that range in height from 32 to 36 inches. The lamps feature a small shade and a narrow base silhouette, which resembles a slim column or candlestick. Shop for antique and vintage buffet lamps on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Also known as a sideboard, a buffet table is mostly used for storage of large dining pieces, like a gravy boat, or everyday pieces, such as plates and flatware.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    The terms buffet and sideboard are used interchangeably, although buffets generally have higher legs and stand 34 to 38 inches tall.

  • 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024
    No, a buffet usually shouldn't be longer than a dining table. Most experts recommend that you choose a buffet that is the same length or slightly shorter than your dining table. Keeping the two pieces in proportion with each other creates balance within a space.

    Find vintage and antique dining tables on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
    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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 22, 2019

    The main difference between a buffet and a sideboard is that a buffet is usually slightly taller than a sideboard. However, both types of tables are typically found in the dining room and both serve the same function as a place to put serving dishes.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 7, 2024
    Bernard Buffet used a variety of media over the course of his career. The French artist produced more than 8,000 paintings, employing watercolors and oil paints. He also worked in lithography and produced engravings and prints. Some of his most famous pieces include Tête de Clown, Deux Hommes Nus and Nature Morte. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of Bernard Buffet art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    The difference between a table lamp and a buffet lamp is the size. Although the two types of lamps come in similar heights, buffet lamps are usually narrower, so they take up less space on a buffet server filled with food. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of lamps from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    The difference between a buffet table and a console table comes down to size and storage features. Console tables are usually less deep than buffet tables, so they take up less space behind sofas and along walls. In addition, consoles are less likely to have cabinets and drawers than buffet tables, which are designed to store dinnerware and serveware in dining rooms. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of buffets and console tables.
