Italian Glass Sideboard For Sale on 1stDibs
At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal Italian glass sideboard for your home. Frequently made of glass, wood and metal, every Italian glass sideboard was constructed with great care.

Whether you’re looking for an older or newer Italian glass sideboard, there are earlier versions available from the 18th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 21st Century. When you’re browsing for the right Italian glass sideboard, those designed in Mid-Century Modern, Art Deco and Modern styles are of considerable interest. A well-made Italian glass sideboard has long been a part of the offerings for many furniture designers and manufacturers, but those produced by Vittorio Dassi, L.A. Studio and Dassi Mobili Moderni are consistently popular.
How Much is an Italian Glass Sideboard?
An Italian glass sideboard can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $8,101, while the lowest priced sells for $615 and the highest can go for as much as $110,000.
Finding the Right Sideboards for You
Once simply boards made of wood that were used to support ceremonial dining, sideboards have taken on much greater importance since their modest first appearance. In Italy, the sideboard was basically a credenza, a solid furnishing with cabinet doors. It was initially intended as an integral piece of any dining room where the wealthy gathered for meals in the southern European country.
Later, in England and France, sideboards retained their utilitarian purpose — a place to keep hot water for rinsing silverware and from which to serve cold drinking water — but would evolve into double-bodied structures that allowed for the display of serveware and utensils on open shelves. We would likely call these buffets, as they’re taller than a sideboard. (Trust us — there is an order to all of this!)
The sideboard is often deemed a buffet in the United States, 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.
An antique or vintage sideboard today is a sophisticated and stylish component in sumptuous dining rooms of every shape, size and decor scheme, as well as a statement of its own, showcased in art galleries and museums. Furniture maker and artist Paul Evans, whose work has been the subject of various celebrated museum exhibitions, created ornamented, welded and patinated sideboards for Directional Furniture, collections such as the Cityscape series that speak to his place in revolutionary brutalist furniture design as much as they echo the origins of these sturdy, functional structures centuries ago.
If mid-century modern sideboards are more to your liking than an 18th-century mahogany sideboard with decorative inlays by Hepplewhite, the particularly elegant pieces crafted by designers Hans Wegner, Edward Wormley or Florence Knoll are often sought by today’s collectors.
Whether you have a specific era or style in mind or you’re open to browsing a vast collection to find the right fit, 1stDibs has a variety of antique, new and vintage sideboards to choose from.
