The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A pier cabinet is a narrow, low display cabinet originally designed to be placed against the wall space, known as a pier, between two large windows in 18th and 19th-century reception rooms. Often featuring glass front doors and decorative wood veneers, they were traditionally used to store books or exhibit prized collectibles.

Pier cabinets from the 19th century were predominantly crafted from fine hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, frequently enhanced with burr veneers and boxwood inlay. They often feature hand-cut joinery, glazed doors, and decorative cast ormolu or brass mounts.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original glass with slight waviness or air bubbles, and evidence of natural age-related patina on the wood finish and brass fittings. Inspecting the rear panels often reveals hand-sawn timber or original iron fasteners.

A pier cabinet functions as a sophisticated accent piece in a modern hallway, living room, or study, providing structured storage without overpowering the space. Decorate the top surface with framed artwork, a table lamp, or ceramics while using the glazed shelves to showcase curated books or glassware.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year following the grain. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber warping and the drying out of delicate veneer inlays.
