Early 19th Century Biedermeier Empire Secretary, Germany, Prussia, C. 1815
Located in Greven, DE
North Germany / Prussia Birch Biedermeier / Empire around 1815 Dimensions: H x W x D: 174 x 102 x 55 cm Description: Very exclusive secretary from the Prussian North German Biedermeier period around 1815. Piece of furniture standing on pointed legs with two drawers at the bottom, the writing flap above, another drawer above and a hidden head drawer at the very top. The piece of furniture is veneered in exciting grained birch wood. Due to the different color hangings within the wood and the interplay of hues associated with it, we also refer to it as "flamed" birch. The beautiful wood is complemented by blackened moldings and beautiful fire-gilded bronze hardware in beautiful quality. The interior of the writing compartment is veneered in apple tree. We see a stair-like rise to a central door flanked by pilasters. Drawers of different sizes and two large compartments with dividers for letters and papers complete the secretary part. Looking at the piece of furniture from above, we see an old shipping label. According to it, the secretary was loaded onto the train at the station "Odertor" in Wroclaw. The destination was probably Berin. Corresponding mmarkings we find on the back panel. Piece of furniture made in wonderful quality craftsmanship. A true testament to the high quality of Prussian furniture...

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.
