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.
