Featuring the same myriad of various styles for antique reproduction curio cabinets, choices to fit your home's dream décor have a wide range.

Whichever period and style capture your heart, each antique reproduction curio cabinet has been crafted by our highly trained, master level carpenters. We involve our expertise in every step of the way, from selecting the most flawless pieces of genuine Honduras mahogany to create our curio cabinets and to the last touches of hand staining as well as finishing. Crafting each curio cabinet by hand means that no two will ever be exactly alike, allowing you to own furniture that is wholly bespoke to you, your home, and your family. Using the same techniques the master craftsmen of history used, such as mortise and tenon, our antique reproduction curio cabinets become durable, extremely long-lasting pieces of furniture that will no doubt bring joy and beauty to a room for years.
Curio cabinets and their history reach far back into the 16th century, where the term originated from small, decorative objects that the elite once collected based on the curiosity they evoked with their novelty. Items such as delicate porcelain figurines, a cherished book, art, and more were often gathered and displayed in magnificently handmade displays. While cabinets were becoming the standard way to display such fanciful trinkets during the 16th century, the term curio cabinet and the design of specially created displays such as these did not become common until the 18th century. Precious family heirloom china and items of beauty or memory were collected and proudly shown to guests and family within the home in a delightfully eye-catching way. It was during the later centuries that antique curio cabinets became elongated, offering more room with less width—and that design became so popular that it is still mirrored in similar furniture today.
At Laurel Crown, we have great respect and endless passion for heirlooms of bygone eras as well as everything which made them so very beloved and, we put this into each antique reproduction curio cabinet we make.
