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 File Cabinets
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024To find your filing cabinet brand, start with the front, as some makers place stickers above the lock or in the bottom corners. If you don't find any markings there, look on the back and then search inside the drawers. If you still cannot locate a brand name, remove the drawers from the cabinet and check the frame behind them. In addition, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer may be of assistance if you're trying to determine the brand of an antique or vintage filing cabinet. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of filing cabinets.
- How tall are filing cabinets?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Filing cabinets are anywhere from 29 inches to 60 inches tall. The height of these cabinets is dependent on the number of drawers. The width of these cabinets are 15” or 18 ¼ inches wide for legal size.
- What is the best filing cabinet?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021When choosing a file or filing cabinet, size is the most significant consideration.

- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024To tell if your filing cabinet is fireproof, look on the back, inside and behind the drawers. Some fireproof file cabinets will feature a mark that begins with "UL," such as "UL 350" or "UL 150." This marking indicates that pieces in the filing cabinet gained fireproof certification from Underwriters Laboratories. Even if your piece doesn't bear a UL marking, it still may be fireproof. Conduct online research on your specific model using trustworthy resources or contact the manufacturer to verify. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of filing cabinets.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, you can remove filing cabinet drawers from most cabinets. However, the methods of doing so vary. Some cabinets feature track hardware that allows you to pull the drawers out. With others, you need to shake the cabinet to dislodge the drawers. Shop a range of vintage and antique filing cabinets on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023How tall a four-drawer file cabinet is varies. However, most are at least 52 inches to accommodate four levels of standard-size hanging file folders, which are around 9.25 inches high. Find a variety of filing cabinets on 1stDibs.
