About the Item
The design style that later received its popular name of “Art Deco” was originally named after the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, hosted in Paris in 1925. The movement peaked in popularity around the 1930s, then spread across Europe and the United States up to the start of the Second World War.
Predating the strict functionality of mid-century modernism, this cabinet model is preoccupied with aesthetics, showcasing versatile decorative elements that define the look. The warm-toned birch wood is polished to a soft, satin finish, showcasing the beautiful grain patterns that add charm and texture to its sleek, architectural form. Its streamlined silhouette—clean and rectangular—is typical of the Art Deco movement’s modernist influences, while the rounded corners and straight legs lend it a sense of elegance and grounded stability. Designers of this period began to experiment with diverse techniques, such as intarsia, which involved using multiple wood sections inlaid in a mosaic-like pattern to create detailed images, as showcased by this piece. This technique is found on the cabinet doors with a charming motif of two figures carrying objects, and is the most apparent decorative element of the design. The interior is equally well considered, revealing fitted drawers and spaciously arranged shelves. The rather open arrangement of the shelves make this model perfect to store or display a range of items.
As this luxurious cabinet shows, European furniture designers’ artistic approach was anchored by characteristic Art Deco refinement expressed through graceful forms and traditional materials. Whether placed in a bedroom, living room, or study, this piece is sure to elevate its surroundings and add a sense of sophistication to the space.

Located in Utrecht, NL
Curio or display cabinets are versatile pieces of furniture that offer a creative way to showcase its owner’s interests and style. This unique cabinet not only serves a functional purpose, but thanks to its unique characteristics, it is a charming and stylish addition to any space.
A glass display cabinet can transform an entire room. A glass display cabinet gives the perfect opportunity to put a collection on display. Books, cards, figurines, art, liquor, and an infinite amount of other trinkets can be put on display in a sophisticated, stylish manner, especially in open designs such as this European cabinet. The solid wooden structure has subtle decorative elements paired with simpler solutions like the straight face frame and top. European cabinetmakers and designers created versatile and functional models from solid wood. This cabinet is an exemplary European 20th century design, with a single shelf in the middle. Dividing the space in two, the shelf makes the design perfect to display anything as the sides are made of glass. This creates a classic look, while the open front allows the most eye-catching detail to stand out: the orange velvet inlay. Delicate objects can be safely stored and displayed on the soft velvet, and visually it creates an accent that draws the eye. The lower part is equally enticing with four thin, Marlborough-reminiscent legs and carved details.
The display cabinet style is designed for displaying curios, which are simply collections and treasured items. With its beautiful wood surfaces and velvet accent shelf...
