Poul Cadovius 7-Bay Royal System
Located in Littleton, CO
(Click on "More Details" below to see complete information.) A large and versatile Royal System wall shelving system by Poul Cadovius. The 8 vertical rails, 5 cabinets, a deep desk shelf, and multiple shelf types (with accompanying hardware) allow for dynamic and versatile possibilities for configuration in up to 7 continuous vertical spaces for hanging cabinets and shelves, or splitting into separate smaller wall units. This system comes to market for the first time from a single estate, and was purchased and installed in stages in Honolulu, Hawaii between January 1968 and December 1978, with the exception of the deep desk shelf, purchased in Denver in the 2010's. Original purchase receipts are available for all components, except for the deep desk shelf. The shelf with an under-shelf down light was custom made for the Royal System by Lightolier, and is signed. The small 2-drawer cabinet is independent of the deep desk shelf and may be placed anywhere on the rail system, just like all other components. Many additional photos available. All components included: 7 Vertical Rails 79" H x 1.5" W x .75" D (11.5 lbs) 200.7 cm H x 3.8 cm W x 1.9 cm D (5.2 kg) 2 Vertical Half-Length Rails (can be combined to form 1 full-length vertical rail) 39.5" x 1.5" W x .75" D (1.64 lbs) 100.3 cm x 3.8 cm W x 1.9 cm D (0.7 kg) 1 Small Cabinet With Glass...

1930s Tuscan-Style Spanish Solid Walnut Buffet
Located in Kaštel Sućurac, Splitsko-dalmatinska županija
Spanish Revival Bleached Oak Buffet, 1930s "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." — Leonardo da Vinci Spain, 1930s Crafted from solid oak and gently bleached to reveal its natural warmth, this Spanish Revival buffet embodies the quiet grandeur of Iberian craftsmanship. The robust structure is softened by the timeworn patina, while the hand-carved, paneled doors showcase the depth and dimension characteristic of traditional Castilian woodworking. Aged iron latches and strap hinges add an authentic touch, evoking the old-world charm of Spanish haciendas. Rooted in Spanish Revival architecture, this buffet takes inspiration from the grand interiors of 17th-century Andalusian and Catalan homes, where dark, monolithic woodwork was an essential part of the aesthetic. The geometric relief carvings echo the intricate coffered ceilings and Moorish influences that shaped Spain’s design heritage, while the sturdy, functional form reflects the rustic simplicity of Spanish Colonial furnishings. - Hand-Carved Paneled Doors – A striking interplay of recessed geometric motifs, celebrating Castilian craftsmanship. - Bleached Walnut Finish – A contemporary touch that lightens the piece while preserving its historical integrity. - Hand-Forged Iron Hardware – Traditional Spanish-style latches and hinges, adding an artisanal flourish. - Four Upper Drawers & Three Spacious Cupboards – A perfect blend of form and function, offering ample storage. - Stepped Base & Framed Side Panels – Architectural details that reinforce the piece’s stately presence.

Vintage Storage Cabinets and Antique Case Pieces for Sale: Shop Credenzas, Sideboards, Bookcases and Dressers on 1stDibs

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.
