Finding the Right storage-case-pieces for You

Of all the antique and vintage case pieces and storage cabinets 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 storage 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. Whether you’re seeking a playful sideboard made of colored glass and metals, 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 Vintage Coat Cupboard
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    A vintage mink coat can cost anywhere between $500-15,000 depending on the designer and the condition it is in. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of vintage mink coats from designers such as Christian Dior, Versace and Yves Saint Laurent.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 7, 2023

    The value of a vintage mink coat depends on a variety of factors, including the condition, size, brand and quality. A small mink coat could sell for under $300 while a top designer coat could sell for over $10,000.


    Luxury mink coats were especially fashionable during the 1980s, and during that period a coat of this type could command up to several hundred thousand dollars. Today, vintage mink coats created by internationally revered designers and brands such as Versace, Chanel or Armani -- none of which utilize fur anymore in their products -- can fetch prices in the tens of thousands of dollars (particularly if kept in good condition).


    How much a mink coat is worth can also see fluctuations owing to societal and cultural factors such as a shift in attitudes with respect to the use of animal fur in the fashion industry. Experts recommend consulting an appraiser or professional seller in order to accurately determine the value of your vintage mink coat.
