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 Pair Of Armoires
- What is an armoire used for?1 Answer

- Why is it called an armoire?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024Why it is called an armoire likely relates to the original purpose of the furniture. When armoires first emerged during the Middle Ages, people often stored armor and weapons in them.

- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between a dresser and an armoire is in the shape and the type of storage that the furnishings provide. Dressers are usually wide, short casegoods that feature drawers for storing clothing, lingerie and accessories.

Some armoires also have lower drawers, but others don't. Find a wide range of dressers and armoires on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024To spell armoire furniture, write A-R-M-O-I-R-E. You pronounce the word "ARM-wahr." The word armoire comes from the Old French term for cupboard, amarie. Its root is the Latin word armarium, which refers to a closet for storing tools. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of armoires from some of the world's top sellers.
- How tall is the average armoire?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023The average armoire is around 60 inches or 5 feet tall.

On 1stDibs, find a variety of armoires from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023The original purpose of an armoire was storing arms like swords and axes.

- How do I pair palazzo pants?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022How you pair palazzo pants is largely a matter of personal preference. Many people choose to balance the flowy oversize shape of the pants with fitted tops, sweaters or turtlenecks. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of vintage and designer palazzo pants.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024No one can say for sure who made the first pair of pants. However, anthropologists and archaeologists have traced the origins of pants back to ancient China. The oldest pants to have been discovered so far date back to between the 13th and 10th centuries B.C. These early garments were found on mummies in tombs in the Tarim Basin of western China. Find a large selection of pants for men and women on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024To tell how old a pair of glasses is, you can examine it closely and then conduct some research using trusted online resources. If you see a mark that indicates the maker, use the manufacturer as a starting point. Find out when the company was in business and look at catalogues and other references to determine when it produced similar styles. If you can't find a maker, your glasses will likely be from the late 20th century or earlier. In this case, you can research the characteristics of your glasses to get a rough idea of the age. For example, nose pads didn't come into use until the 1920s. Another feature of eyeglasses introduced in the 1920s is positioning the temples at the upper corners of the frames rather than in the middle. If you need help with dating, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of eyeglasses.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022For a casual look, pair your Versace dress shirt with a nice pair of jeans and your favorite pair of loafers or casual pumps. For a more dressy look, pair it with dress slacks or a fitted skirt and dress shoes or heels. Find authentic Versace pieces on 1stDibs.
