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 With Three Shelves
- What is a shelving unit?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A shelving unit is a flexible piece of furniture with shelves that can be rearranged to accommodate various objects such as books, collectibles, sculptures and other items for display.

Patek Philippe is known for impeccable craftsmanship and some of the most complicated timepieces ever created, and is considered by many to operate at the height of fine watchmaking. Audemars Piguet is perhaps best known for conceiving the first-ever luxury watch in stainless steel, the Royal Oak, which debuted in 1972. Vacheron Constantin was among the first brands to embrace the Geneva Seal and is the oldest watch producer in the world still in operation. Shop a diverse assortment of Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024What a piece of furniture with shelves is called depends on its overall design. An item with rows of shelves that has an open back is an étagère, while a similar piece with a closed back is a bookcase. In some cases, a large étagère may be referred to as a shelving unit.

On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of storage furniture and case pieces.

- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021When it isn’t a stool, a three-legged chair may also be called a turned chair. These types of chairs were well known in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, and they have retained their charm in our era. Shop for a range of vintage turned chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024A three-piece artwork is called a triptych. The word comes from the ancient Greek word triptykos, which means three layers.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Landscape paintings are typically grouped into one of three concepts: representational, impressionistic and abstract.
