FAQs

Originally designed to stand on the narrow wall space between two windowsknown as a pierthese cabinets emerged in the 19th century as decorative storage pieces featuring glazed doors and elaborate timber veneers.

Cabinetmakers typically utilised rich timber veneers such as burr walnut, rosewood, or mahogany, accentuated with intricate marquetry, glass panel doors, and decorative gilt-brass or bronze mounts known as ormolu.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut wood veneers, period-appropriate brass mounts showing natural patination, original glass with subtle wave variations, and traditional joinery along the carcass and plinth.

A pier cabinet functions well in a hallway, alcove, or living room as a low-profile focal point, serving as display storage for curated ceramics, glassware, or books to introduce historical character.

Dust the surfaces regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice per year. Position the cabinet away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent wood movement and drying.
