Antique Early 19th C. American Maple And Pine Corner Cabinet
Located in New Orleans, LA
Antique early 19th century American pine and maple Corner Cupboard, c 1810. Made of pine and maple, featuring triangular form with stunning original glazed wavy glass doors, three drawers and wood doors below This cupboard has pale pink old milk painted interior shelves. The glass features waves and bubbles consistent with age and was completely hand made with wooden pegs.
Ever wonder how large, tall pieces of furniture were moved in and out of the small doorways in 18th-19th century homes?
Beginning about 1740, corner cupboards were very popular storage pieces. Some were built into the room by carpenters so they never had to be moved.
Instead of a rectangular piece of furniture, the corner piece was triangular in the back so it fit into a corner with no wasted space.
Through the years, many of these built-ins have been removed and given new backs.
Most old corner cupboards were made by a cabinetmaker to be moved from house to house.
The top section usually had glass cabinet doors covering several shelves. The silver or dishes inside were arranged to be admired. The bottom section had two wooden cabinet doors...

A French Louis XVI-style gilt bronze mounted wooden pedestal
Located in Milano, IT
Transport yourself to a bygone era of opulence and grandeur with this elegant French pedestal in the style of Louis XVI. While its design harkens back to the 18th century, this exquisite piece of artistry likely hails from the late 19th to early 20th century. Crafted meticulously from wood, it is adorned with magnificent inlays that adorn every surface.
As your eyes traverse the intricate patterns, you'll discover a tapestry of motifs including urns, rosettes, cascading florals, and other classical elements. At its heart, proudly displayed, is the emblem of the Sun King, a symbol of absolute monarchy and power, reminiscent of an era steeped in history and regal splendor.
The ormolu mounts, with their ornamental feet and elaborate cartouches, add another layer of sophistication, accentuating the pedestal's lavish design. The marble top serves as a platform for displaying decorative pieces like busts, vases, or statues, enhancing the overall aesthetic.
But there's more to this masterpiece than meets the eye. A concealed door reveals small drawers inside, providing discreet storage for your precious trinkets and keepsakes. This pedestal, with its ageless beauty and timeless allure, is a testament to the enduring charm of neoclassical and French styles.
Imagine it gracing the corner of a room, bathed in soft light, where it becomes a conversation starter, a relic of a bygone era that exudes sophistication and elegance. It's a piece that invites you to touch its intricate details, to appreciate the craftsmanship of a time when every detail was painstakingly considered.
Whether you have a penchant for neoclassical interiors or you're looking to infuse your space with a touch of French opulence...

Vintage, New and Antique Corner Cupboards
Storage space is crucial in any home and proper antique, new and vintage corner cupboards can make all the difference.
Corner cupboards are different from standard cupboards in that they are tall, spacious cupboards with curved or diagonal fronts and triangular backs that are designed specifically to fit into a room’s corner, or they’re not freestanding and have been built directly into the room. This kind of case piece — one of the offerings in what was deemed “corner furniture” — rose to popularity during the 18th century in England and America, occupying a prominent position in dining rooms before they were later moved into kitchens. Overhanging tops and urn-shaped finials adorned Chippendale-style corner cupboards in the mid- to late 1700s, while Victorian corner cupboards were made in woods such as walnut and mahogany and featured decoratively hand-carved cabinet doors.
There is a case piece for every storage conundrum, and in dining rooms it was helpful to have items for meals on hand in a tall corner cupboard. Smaller corner cupboards were built to hang from ceilings while larger versions stretched from floor to ceiling to make the most of the area.
Behind cabinet doors with curved glass, the top section of a corner cupboard might house several shelves on which a family’s silver or dishware would be displayed, while the bottom half’s doors concealed whatever home goods were stored below. While corner cupboards are roomy and robust — and an antique freestanding piece is going to be heavy to move — it was the ideal way to keep serveware on hand while taking advantage of little-used corner space. Not unlike a stylish credenza or buffet, a corner cupboard isn’t merely a storage solution.
Crafted in a range of woods and embellished with brass or bronze accents, corner cupboards were striking furnishings of a certain era and will surely command attention in your home.
On 1stDibs, find antique and vintage corner cupboards in a number of styles, including mid-century modern corner cupboards, Georgian versions and more.
