china cabinets

Glass-fronted furniture pieces

China cabinets are tall, glass-fronted furniture pieces designed to display fine dinnerware, glassware, and decorative objects.

They typically feature glass doors and interior shelves, sometimes with lighting, allowing items to be seen while protected from dust.

Found in dining rooms, they serve both storage and display purposes: Her collection of Wedgwood filled the china cabinet.
