19th Century English Olivewood and Brass Inlaid Cabinet
By Town & Emanuel
Located in London, GB
A William IV cabinet attributed to Town and Emmanuel
Constructed in a strongly grained olivewood and dressed with gold brass inlays and an etched and engraved brass panel; rising from a plinth base, the lockable single door having an inset panel in the manner of Jean Berain, enclosing a shelved interior, and flanked by narrow vertical conforming panels; the apron being dressed with three bronze rosettes, and the Jura Jaune marble is dressed with a three quarter arcaded brass gallery,
circa 1830
The cabinet is illustrated and discussed in Christopher Payne’s “British Furniture 1820 to 1920” published in 2023. Payne singles out the rarity of the olivewood timber used as well as the necessity for hand cutting the large marquetry panel.
Literature:
Payne, Christopher. British Furniture 1820 to 1920 : The Luxury Market. ACC Art Books, 2023, pp. 38-39 (illus. fig. 1.33).

Worn and Patinated English Antique Pine Tavern Table Desk
Located in Shippensburg, PA
ENGLISH WORN AND PATINATED PINE TAVERN TABLE
Circa the mid-19th century, with three drawers in the apron
Item # 402VDP08Z
A richly worn tavern table with a wonderful all-over surface patina from well over a century of life and active use, this gorgeous English tavern table features a large pine table top projecting over a simple frame holding three generous size drawers in the front. Each is hand-dovetailed in the typical manner and is hung with an oversized turned wooden knob.
It is raised on four incredibly sturdy and robust tapered legs with large exposed pin joinery throughout. The legs are stretched with short stretchers tenoned into the legs on either side and two full-width stretchers that are dovetailed into the side stretchers.
Incredibly beautiful and also super practical for so many applications. It makes a fantastic desk or working table, but is generally used in the kitchen as a breakfast table or as a working table/island. And the rich surface patina gives the new owner a great deal of permission to actively use and contribute to the surface history without fear of damage or deterioration from a few stains or abrasions.
Measurements: 29 5/8" H x 28 5/8" D x 80 3/4" W
Condition Report: Large square of pine set into the table top to probably replace a knot or area of damage; a stretcher at the back (between the legs along the length of the table) was removed at one point and it appears the center stretchers that are dovetailed into the side stretchers were added - a rather old alteration that allows for foot room. Inactive pest damage throughout with significant wear.

Antique and Vintage Case Pieces and Storage Cabinets for Sale: Find Credenzas, Sideboards, Bookcases and Other Furnishings on 1stDibs
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.
