Finding the Right Case Pieces And Storage Cabinets for You
Of all the vintage storage cabinets and antique case pieces 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 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. Alternatively, apothecary cabinets are charming case goods similar in size to early dressers or commodes but with uniquely sized shelving and (often numerous) drawers.
Whether you’re seeking a playful sideboard that features colored glass and metal details, 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.
Questions About Burl Wood Secretary
- What is burled wood?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Burled wood is wood with a unique grain characteristic that results from harvesting a tree that has a burl. A burl is a tree growth often caused by injury, fungus, virus, or insects. The stress from the growth causes pressure on the wood and creates intense grain patterns.
- What is a burl in wood?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A burl in wood is a growth on a tree formed from bud tissue that has not sprouted.

- Is burl wood timeless?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023Whether burl wood is timeless is largely a matter of personal opinion. However, burl wood became popular during the Art Deco and Regency eras, and furniture designers have continued to use it to produce pieces ever since then. This owes largely to the material’s range of organic shapes and knots, which add richness and distinct visual appeal. On 1stDibs, find a range of burl wood furniture.
- How much is burl wood worth?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021Burl wood's worth depends on the quality and the size of the wood.
