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.

    To find your filing cabinet brand, start with the front, as some makers place stickers above the lock or in the bottom corners. If you don't find any markings there, look on the back and then search inside the drawers. If you still cannot locate a brand name, remove the drawers from the cabinet and check the frame behind them. In addition, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer may be of assistance if you're trying to determine the brand of an antique or vintage filing cabinet. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of filing cabinets.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024
    To tell if your filing cabinet is fireproof, look on the back, inside and behind the drawers. Some fireproof file cabinets will feature a mark that begins with "UL," such as "UL 350" or "UL 150." This marking indicates that pieces in the filing cabinet gained fireproof certification from Underwriters Laboratories. Even if your piece doesn't bear a UL marking, it still may be fireproof. Conduct online research on your specific model using trustworthy resources or contact the manufacturer to verify. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of filing cabinets.
