FAQs

A pier cabinet is a low, glazed storage cabinet originally designed to be situated against the wall space between two large windows in 19th-century homes. Burr walnut variants became prominent during the Victorian era, prized for their complex figure and ornamental veneer patterns.

These cabinets feature burr walnut veneers applied over solid timber cores, often accented with boxwood or fruitwood marquetry inlays. Cast gilt-bronze or brass mounts, known as ormolu, regularly trim the edges, alongside clear glass paneled doors.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-sawed veneers, hand-cut joinery in the internal carcass, and natural oxidisation to the timber underside and rear panels. Gilt-bronze mounts typically display hand-chased detail and cast imperfections not present in modern reproductions.

A symmetrical pair works effectively flanking a fireplace, framing a large doorway, or placed along a hallway. They provide low-level display options beneath wall-mounted artwork without obstructing vertical wall space.

Dust regularly using a dry, soft microfibre cloth, keeping the surface free from moisture. Protect the delicate veneer from direct sunlight and sudden humidity changes to prevent lifting or cracking of the timber inlay.
