Where should I place a display cupboard?

These cabinets suit drawing rooms, dining spaces and libraries where natural light highlights the wood grain and glass panels. Keep them away from direct sunlight and strong heat sources to protect the walnut veneer and historic timber from drying out.

How do I clean the glass and wood?

Use a soft, dry cloth for dusting the polished walnut surfaces and avoid standard silicone sprays. Clean the glass panes with a mild vinegar solution applied to a cloth rather than sprayed directly onto the timber.

Are the shelves adjustable?

Many nineteenth and twentieth century cabinets feature adjustable wooden shelving supported by rack-and-pinion systems or traditional wooden brackets. This allows owners to alter shelf heights for varying display items.
