A bestseller – the Marseille series

A true classic at Chic Antique is the Marseille series of beautiful and timeless display cabinets. The cabinets come in several sizes and designs, including traditional tall display cabinets, sideboards with glass doors, or wall-mounted display cabinets.

You’ll find display cabinets in three classic colours: white, black and natural. The latter is made of natural wood, with the wood’s beautiful grain lending a lively and warm feel to your home. Common to all three colours is their timelessness and how easily they will complement any home and interior style.

More and more new cabinets are being added to the Marseille series, which time and again becomes yet another new favourite amongst our customers.

Care instructions for your display cabinet

To ensure your display cabinet retains its beauty for many years, proper care is essential. As many of our display cabinets are made from reclaimed wood or have an industrial finish, care requirements may vary. Generally, we recommend the following:

• Wood: Wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid direct sunlight, as this can cause the wood to fade. Use wood care products specifically designed for the type of wood your display cabinet is made from, if it is unpainted or untreated.
• Metal/Iron: Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning products, as these can damage the surface. Minor stains can often be removed with a soft cloth.
• Glass: Clean with a standard glass cleaner and a clean cloth to avoid streaks.

If you have any questions about caring for a specific display cabinet, you are always welcome to contact us. We are here to help you preserve the beauty and durability of your furniture.

Frequently asked questions about display cabinets

What exactly is a display cabinet?

A display cabinet is a cabinet, typically with glass doors or panes, designed to showcase and protect items such as crockery, books, knick-knacks or collectables. The word ‘vitrine’ comes from French and means ‘display case’.

How do I choose the right display cabinet for my home?

Consider the size of the room, your existing décor and what you wish to store in the cabinet. At Chic Antique, we offer various sizes, materials (e.g. reclaimed wood, iron) and styles (e.g. French country, industrial), so you can find a display cabinet that perfectly suits your needs and personal taste.

How do I style my display cabinet?

A display cabinet is a must-have for your interior design. It will be a versatile and expressive piece of furniture in your home, so as well as being a functional storage unit, it will also reflect who you are and your style. Fill it with your favourite dinner service, lovely towels, folded jumpers – depending on which room your display cabinet is in. But what really brings your cabinet to life is what else you put in it.

• Plants bring life and tranquillity at the same time. You might want to use artificial plants, which require neither water nor light. Find a wide selection here.
• Decorative items add a personal touch and create an interesting contrast to the main contents. It could be a beautiful sculpture, a vase or perhaps a small, nice picture.
• LED candles are one of our display cabinet favourites. For obvious reasons, a standard candle won’t be suitable for the shelves, but an LED candle is the perfect choice. It creates a warm and cosy atmosphere, as well as adding an extra eye-catching feature to the cabinet.

Can a display cabinet be used in any room?

Yes, absolutely! A display cabinet is incredibly versatile. It looks fantastic in the dining room, living room, kitchen for storing crockery, in the office for books, or even in the bedroom for personal belongings. Our display cabinets are designed to add charm and functionality anywhere.

What materials are Chic Antique display cabinets made from?

At Chic Antique, we focus on authentic materials with character. You’ll find display cabinets in sturdy iron, beautiful poplar and elm wood, reclaimed wood with a unique patina, and other metal finishes. This ensures a varied selection that can meet a wide range of preferences for design and durability in your display cabinet.

How do I best care for my new display cabinet?

Care depends on the material. Wooden display cabinets should be wiped down regularly with a damp cloth and protected from direct sunlight. Metal and iron can be wiped down with a dry or slightly damp cloth without harsh cleaning products. Glass doors should be cleaned with glass cleaner. You are always welcome to contact us for advice on your specific display cabinet.
