Cabinets: antique, vintage, and solid wood cabinets
An antique cabinet is storage with a history: made of solid wood, dismantlable, and often larger than anything built today. At Hauptstadt Möblerei, you will find a changing selection of cabinets from every era: the Wilhelminian-era oak buffet cabinet , the Biedermeier cherrywood cabinet , the Art Nouveau cabinet with curved fittings, the farmhouse cabinet made of softwood, the mid-century teak cabinet , and the GDR design cabinet from Hellerau. All refurbished in our Berlin workshop.
