How wide is a standard one?

Most British examples run between four and five feet wide. The continental models often stretch much longer, sometimes reaching six or seven feet across the dining room wall. Measure your space carefully. The pronounced curves and deep bow fronts make them sit further into the room than a standard rectangular piece.

Can they hold modern plates?

Standard dinner plates fit comfortably inside. Internal depth averages fifteen to eighteen inches. Shelves often adjust. You can alter the spacing for stacked crockery.

My grandparents had a huge curved cabinet with glass in the middle and I was wondering if you can easily dismantle these for moving house?

They rarely break down into smaller sections. The carcase is glued and screwed as one solid unit that moves in a single piece. You need to plan your route carefully. These cabinets weigh a considerable amount, especially models built on thick blockboard with heavy glass central sections.

We have a very narrow hallway and dining room door so is it possible to remove the doors or legs on these before getting them inside?

You can usually unscrew the doors from their hinges. Taking them off removes a fair bit of weight and prevents them swinging open during transit. The legs or plinth bases are structural. They are built directly into the carcase and will not detach.

These geometric, heavily veneered cabinets were built in the interwar period to store dining room silver and linens while acting as an architectural focal point in a modern domestic interior.
