An early 18th century Florentine Ebonized Wood Aedicule Case
Located in Leesburg, VA
An early 18th century Florentine ebonized wood aedicule case with gilt metal embellishments
Ambit of Leonard van der Vinne
Possibly first decade of the 18th century; Florence, Italy
Approximate size: 83.5 (h) x 69 (w) x 23 (d) cm
The cabinet’s centralized glass door is flanked by thick spiraling Solomonic columns surmounting a lower drawer. To the rear of the cabinet, the motif repeats in an eloquent display of perspectival treatment. The overall work is supported by a tiered base, elegantly conceived, and the cabinet is topped by a handsome pediment flanked by square plinths crested by gilt metal finials and an openwork frieze.
The cabinet’s tempered and moderate form suggests an origin probably during the first decade or quarter of the 18th century. Although utilitarian in concept, the reserved and sublime expressiveness of this cabinet is managed with a quality and care respective of the influence of Florentine ebony cabinetry work conceived in the Galleria dei lavori or Grand Ducal Workshops of the 18th century Medici dynasty. In particular, its base mouldings echo a remarkable Night Clock...

1820s Germany Wooden and Glass Vitrine
Located in High Point, NC
Step back in time and behold the captivating allure of this German vitrine, made circa 1820. This extraordinary piece, massive yet elegantly poised, stands as a behemoth of exquisite craftsmanship, exuding a timeless charm that effortlessly enchants the eyes and beckons admiration.
The vitrine's journey through the ages has bestowed upon it a unique character and allure. The dark paint that once embraced its surface has gracefully ebbed away over the years, unveiling the warm hardwood that lies beneath. This transformation has given rise to a delightful patina, an artistic play of textures that adds an enchanting depth to its appearance.
Step closer, and you'll be captivated by a stunning revelation. Inside the vitrine, and a pastel blue interior awaits, a fresh and unexpected contrast to its outwardly weathered allure. This harmonious blend of rustic and refined aesthetics creates a mesmerizing effect, making each moment spent with this vitrine a journey of discovery and delight.
Featuring eight display shelves and four lower storage drawers, this vitrine generously offers both a treasure trove of storage possibilities and a glimpse into the history it carries within. The intricate woodwork, skillfully crafted during a time when artistry met tradition, holds stories and secrets from an era long gone by.
This piece of history stands as a testament to the artistry and innovation of its era, a symbol of grandeur and sophistication. Its imposing presence and striking design make it a true marvel, demanding attention and reverence in any space it graces.

Antique and Vintage Vitrines
Why not give your precious collectibles the case pieces they deserve? Antique and vintage vitrines can be used to safely store and display your most treasured objects.
While they were initially used to display relics in churches or to preserve specimens for scientific observation, vitrines are best known for their place in retail spaces and museums. The name for these glass display cases comes from the Latin word “vitrum,” meaning glass, as well as the Old French word “vitre,” which also refers to glass. Instead of simply showcasing collector’s items on shelves, you can bestow extra importance on them by displaying them in a vitrine for passers-by to observe and admire.
Not all vitrines are created equal. Over time, furniture makers have explored different shapes and sizes for vitrines. A display case you’ll find in a retail store will likely look drastically different from what you’ll see in a museum or art gallery. A vitrine in a shop is likely there to best market specific wares to the general public, while in museums there is usually a range of different vitrines intended to house and protect single objects or to display a grouping of artifacts.
Most of us have an antique, new or vintage case piece in our home. Though the terms “case pieces” and “case goods” may cause even the most decor-obsessed to stumble, these furnishings have been a vital part of the home for centuries. Any furnishing that is unupholstered and has some semblance of a storage component — cabinets, dressers, buffets — may be properly termed a case piece.
Mirror-backed vitrines, which refer to cases that usually feature shelved and mirrored interiors, are a most appropriate home for your jewelry or decorative objects. Adding such items to a vitrine already suggests that there is an irreplaceable preciousness to the case’s contents, and the mirrors will emphasize as much as well as refract more light to render the display eye-catching.
On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of antique and vintage vitrines to protect and preserve your most prized items. The collection of mid-century modern vitrines and Art Deco vitrines is mostly inclusive of those built with a wooden frame, but there are many other types to choose from as well. It’s time to give your collectibles a good home!
