What is a travertine table?

What is a TV credenza?

A TV credenza, also known as a TV cabinet, is a classic piece of furniture that can be used as a stand to support your television. Similar in form to credenzas — a popular kind of case piece — a TV credenza will likely feature shelves and cabinets or drawers for storage purposes. Shop a collection of antique, vintage, and contemporary TV cabinets from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.

Why is it called a credenza?

Why it is called a credenza relates to historic lore about the furniture. In Italian, credenza is a word for “trust” or “belief.” During the 16th century, food and drink was often tested by a servant for a prominent person to see if it contained poison. The sideboard where this tasting took place came to be called a credenza. From there, a cabinet used to hold drinkware, plates and other items became known by the term as well. Although credenzas are now general storage furniture used in homes and offices, the original name remains. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of credenzas.

What is the purpose of a credenza?

The purpose of a credenza is dependent on the room in which it is placed: Most credenzas are in a dining room and serve the same function as a buffet , but credenzas in a living room or bedroom are decorative and can be used as storage or a surface for displaying small objects. Credenzas tend to be long, low cabinets on slender legs, often with sliding doors for concealing small appliances, clothes, dishes…etc.

How is a mid-century modern credenza different from a vintage credenza?

Mid-century modern credenzas date roughly from the 1940s to 1960s and feature clean lines and tapered legs, while vintage more broadly covers any credenza at least 20 years old.

What is the difference between a buffet and a credenza?

Credenzas are small, typically fancy, legless buffets.

What is the difference between a hutch and a credenza?

The difference between a hutch and a credenza is their appearance: A hutch is usually a tall freestanding unit that contains cabinets or a display case that sits on top of the set of drawers underneath, and a credenza is a short and long table with low cabinets on slender legs, often with sliding doors for concealing the items inside the unit.

What is the difference between a desk and a credenza?

The difference between a desk and a credenza is that a desk is a piece of furniture with a table-style work surface and tall legs used for academic, professional or domestic activities, and credenza is a short and long table with low cabinets on slender legs, often with sliding doors for concealing the items inside the unit.

What is the difference between a credenza and a console?

The difference between a credenza and a console is design. A credenza is an elongated low cabinet usually containing shelves concealed by cabinet doors. Some also have open shelving and drawers. On the other hand, a console is a tall, long and narrow table. Consoles may provide storage space in the form of open shelves or drawers, but some are simple tables with no storage features beyond their tops. Shop a selection of console tables and credenzas on 1stDibs.

What is the difference between a console and a credenza?

The difference between a console and a credenza is that one is a table, while the other is a cabinet. Console tables are narrow, tall tables often placed in entryways, hallways and living rooms against a wall or behind a sofa. They may feature drawers or open shelving for storing items. On the other hand, a credenza is a long, low cabinet used to store supplies in offices, entertainment center components in living rooms and other items elsewhere in a home. Most credenzas feature cabinets concealed behind doors. Find a wide range of consoles and credenzas on 1stDibs.

What's the difference between a credenza and a sideboard?

"Credenza" and "sideboard" are largely used interchangeably today; credenza more often describes a lower, mid-century modern piece, while sideboard can skew toward taller, more ornate antique designs.

How is an apothecary cabinet different from a credenza?

A credenza is a lower, wider piece built for dining or media storage with doors or open shelving, while an apothecary cabinet is taller and divided into many small labeled drawers.

Dressers are built for bedroom clothing storage with deep drawers, while a credenza is a lower, wider piece designed for living or dining rooms and often mixes doors with shelving.

How much storage does a typical credenza offer?

Most credenzas include a mix of sliding doors, drawers and open shelving; listings note interior dimensions and configuration so buyers can plan for specific storage needs.

Where does a credenza work best in a dining room?

Many buyers pair a credenza with a dining room table for additional serving and storage space along the wall.

What's the difference between a credenza and an apothecary cabinet?

A well-made credenza with travertine has long been a part of the offerings for many furniture designers and manufacturers, but those produced by Paul McCobb, Calvin and Fort Standard are consistently popular.

Finding the Right Credenzas for You

Mid-century modern credenzas descend from the Renaissance-era sideboard, once used to serve and store food and dishware. The clean-lined, low-profile version prized today emerged from Italian and Scandinavian design in the mid-20th century, defined by tapered legs and warm walnut or teak veneers.

Styles to Know

Mid-century modern credenzas are one of the most searched storage silhouettes on 1stDibs. Sliding-door and open-shelf configurations serve different needs: books and displayed objects suit open shelving, while electronics and linens are better behind doors. A matching mid-century modern dresser extends the look to the bedroom, or an apothecary cabinet offers more drawer storage in a smaller footprint.

How to Choose the Right Vintage Credenza

Hardware and veneer condition vary considerably from piece to piece, so listing photographs deserve a close look; our guide to case pieces covers what else to look for in construction. Every credenza comes from a vetted 1stDibs seller, with era, designer and condition on record, and the 1stDibs Promise stands behind every purchase.

Why is it called a credenza?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024
Why it is called a credenza relates to historic lore about the furniture. In Italian, credenza is a word for “trust” or “belief.” During the 16th century, food and drink was often tested by a servant for a prominent person to see if it contained poison. The sideboard where this tasting took place came to be called a credenza. From there, a cabinet used to hold drinkware, plates and other items became known by the term as well. Although credenzas are now general storage furniture used in homes and offices, the original name remains. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of credenzas.
What is the purpose of a credenza?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertMay 22, 2019
The purpose of a credenza is dependent on the room in which it is placed: Most credenzas are in a dining room and serve the same function as a buffet, but credenzas in a living room or bedroom are decorative and can be used as storage or a surface for displaying small objects. Credenzas tend to be long, low cabinets on slender legs, often with sliding doors for concealing small appliances, clothes, dishes…etc.
How is a mid-century modern credenza different from a vintage credenza?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
Mid-century modern credenzas date roughly from the 1940s to 1960s and feature clean lines and tapered legs, while vintage more broadly covers any credenza at least 20 years old.
What is the difference between a buffet and a credenza?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

What is the difference between a hutch and a credenza?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertMay 22, 2019
The difference between a hutch and a credenza is their appearance: A hutch is usually a tall freestanding unit that contains cabinets or a display case that sits on top of the set of drawers underneath, and a credenza is a short and long table with low cabinets on slender legs, often with sliding doors for concealing the items inside the unit.
What is the difference between a desk and a credenza?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertMay 22, 2019
The difference between a desk and a credenza is that a desk is a piece of furniture with a table-style work surface and tall legs used for academic, professional or domestic activities, and credenza is a short and long table with low cabinets on slender legs, often with sliding doors for concealing the items inside the unit.
What is the difference between a credenza and a console?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024
The difference between a credenza and a console is design. A credenza is an elongated low cabinet usually containing shelves concealed by cabinet doors. Some also have open shelving and drawers. On the other hand, a console is a tall, long and narrow table. Consoles may provide storage space in the form of open shelves or drawers, but some are simple tables with no storage features beyond their tops. Shop a selection of console tables and credenzas on 1stDibs.
What is the difference between a console and a credenza?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
The difference between a console and a credenza is that one is a table, while the other is a cabinet. Console tables are narrow, tall tables often placed in entryways, hallways and living rooms against a wall or behind a sofa. They may feature drawers or open shelving for storing items. On the other hand, a credenza is a long, low cabinet used to store supplies in offices, entertainment center components in living rooms and other items elsewhere in a home. Most credenzas feature cabinets concealed behind doors. Find a wide range of consoles and credenzas on 1stDibs.
