Bespoke Burl Wooden Art Nouveau Display Glass Cabinet H. Pössenbacher Est. 1784
By Moritz Ballin
Located in Kumhausen, DE
A bespoke diplay cabinet made by one of Munich´s most traditional cabinet makers Heinrich Pössenbacher in the early 1900 years (between 1908 and 1918)
The piece of furniture which is in incredibly good condition has been produced for a family in the Bogenhausen district of Munich and was part of set (a credenza 2 beside tables and a huge dining table with 6 chairs) which we´ve already sold.
The tables and chairs are now in an apartment in Schloss Schönbrunn in Vienna - the huge credenza in a noble house in Zehlendorf / Berlin)
This beauty which is still available is consisting of 2 pieces (upper display cabinet and base - both quite heavy ).
Veneered with finest walnut burl wood - Intarsia works with classic Jugendstil ornaments - lower base and legs artfully surrounded by a wooden trim.
These furniture are amongst the most beautiful and at highest standard artfully elaborated pieces I´ve ever have had the pleasure to own.
The unbelievably good condition is no doubt due to the fact that the pieces virtually never have been used as since the early 1960s they were standing in the living room of a farmstead which belongs to the heir a family member of the original owners - covered with blankets all...

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!
