Precious objects are shown to their best advantage in a light-flooded display cabinet. The light-refracting properties of glass have been utilised since ancient times. Combined with the natural product wood or fine metal and high-quality craftsmanship, a beautiful piece of furniture is created: the display cabinet. Not only the decorative aspect is utilised. Dust, dirt and excessive sunlight are kept out and the contents are protected. Display cases are lockable and are used in museums and jewellery shops as a lockable way of displaying valuable objects, jewellery and valuables, as in prestigious safes.

A characteristic feature of showcases is that they are separated from at least one side by a pane. This can be simply transparent, slightly coloured or exclusively polished. The name showcase is derived from the Latin word "vitrum", which means "glass". This glass pane is available either on the door or as a decorative glass lid. Floor-standing display cabinets are glazed all round and are therefore easily visible.

Display cabinets are available in a wide variety of designs and materials. From light-coloured birch to dark walnut and shiny stainless steel - combined with glass, this piece of furniture always looks elegant and timeless, no matter which accessories it is intended to highlight.

A mirror on the back and glass shelves are particularly skilful. These give the viewer the illusion of even more light, size and openness than is actually there. This effect is further enhanced by interior lighting, which also provides stylish and cosy illumination in the living room, kitchen or hallway during the dark hours of the day.

Display cabinets

The term "showcase" refers to a container that is made of glass on at least one side and therefore provides a view of the objects placed in the container. The word is derived from the Latin term for glass ("vitrum"). A synonym for the term is "display case", although this is rarely used colloquially. Showcases come in many different variations. They are used for different purposes, for example in museums, in schools, in public spaces and in private households. There they find their individual purpose and also embellish any room.

What types of display cases are there?

Showcases are often used in public buildings. In museums, showcases are often used to protect exhibits from external damage while still allowing visitors to see them. Showcases are also frequently used for this purpose in schools. In this case, the contents of the display case can be collections of insects, handmade works of art or many other things.

Display cases are also frequently used in public spaces, for example to display timetables or other information for passers-by.

Specialised display cases, which are used particularly in the private sector and have the ability to protect against infection and regulate the temperature, are also available in different variations.

However, display cabinets are also used in private households for many different purposes. Valuable items such as cutlery or vases can be displayed or (your own) works of art or other objects can be stored in them. The display cabinets that can be purchased for domestic use are available in many different materials and in various sizes, shapes and colours. For example, there are display cabinets whose sides are made entirely of glass, but there are also display cabinets that are mainly made of wood or plastic.

For what purpose is it worth buying a display cabinet?

In general, an elegant display cabinet fits into any household and improves the atmosphere of any room. It is particularly suitable for displaying valuable or inherited objects that should not gather dust in a cupboard. The display cabinet allows guests to view the beautiful pieces without the risk of damaging any of the objects.

A piece of furniture such as a display cabinet can also be an advantage in a household with one or more children. As it is difficult to provide security for fragile valuables in a household with children, a display cabinet is the perfect compromise. The beautiful cutlery or antique vase does not have to gather dust in the cellar or attic and at the same time there is no risk of it being destroyed or damaged by a child at play.

What should you look out for when buying a display cabinet?

Before buying such a piece of furniture, you should first ask yourself a few questions. This will make it much easier to choose the perfect display cabinet for your household.

First of all, there is the question of budget. This should be determined in order to set the financial framework and look for the right piece. If you have a smaller budget, for example, display cabinets with real gold or silver details are out of the question, but this does not mean that you cannot find an elegant and beautiful piece on a small budget.

Other questions that will help you decide are "What material should the display cabinet be made of?", "What style should the display cabinet have?", "Should the display cabinet be made entirely of glass or should only one side of it reveal the inside?" and other questions of this kind. You can also look at the room and the exact location of the display case in order to choose the style and size to suit the surroundings.

If you have gone through these points in advance, you should already have a picture of a suitable display case, which will make the purchase a relaxed and enjoyable experience.
