A staple of power and opulence, cabinets were some of the most overly worked pieces in the history, and more specifically master bedroom furniture. They were made to impress, and the more ornate and complicated the design, the better. Some were refined, some were way over the top, some served a purpose, others were just a work of art ready to be displayed to the world. In room design, they tell the history of the rise of the bourgeoisie who had both the money to spend and the need to affirm their wealth.
Today we’ll be going through some of the most inspiring antique cabinets and show how they’ve influenced design and inspired some modern pieces. Let’s start with the older ones first:
