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

Originating in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a pier cabinet is a low, narrow display cabinet traditionally designed to sit on a pier wall between two tall windows, often positioned beneath a matching mirror.

These cabinets typically feature ebonised or mahogany timber, detailed marquetry or inlay work, gilt-bronze mounts, clear glass panels, and fabric-lined interior shelves.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples feature hand-cut marquetry inlay, cast metal mounts secured with period screws, hand-planed timber backboards, and natural age-related wear to the dark surface finish.

Position the cabinet in a hallway, alcove, or living room to display curated ceramics or books, balancing its dark tone with lighter wall finishes and neutral soft furnishings.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid silicone-based polishes that can degrade delicate lacquers, and keep the piece away from direct sunlight and harsh heat sources.
