French curio cabinets are an elegant and tasteful way to display your precious collectables. Maybe you have Hummel figurines that have sentimental value, or perhaps some souvenirs you bought in Paris, adding irony to the cabinet. Either way, they are a wonderful medium for showcasing your favorite things. They are lovely, sturdy, well made, and come in plenty of sizes to suit.

Our Picks
1
Lattice French China Cabinet
Available in antique white or brown, this cabinet is made of solid reclaimed wood and MDF. It has been wood scored for an antique look and features lattice-style detail at the front. It includes four equally sized shelves within.
Designer Advice:
For a French country look, we recommend opting for the antique white finish option. Pair it with furniture that is either antique or has an antique look, as modern pieces will look out of place. Antique white or cream would match best. Finish the look with a distressed chandelier or large floor lamp to add depth and texture to your space.

Slim French Display Cabinet
Featuring four adjustable shelves, this display cabinet is relatively slim. Made of solid wood in a rich chestnut finish, it has a halogen light to spotlight your items. It is accentuated by cabriole feet and a hand-carved bonnet top.
Designer Advice:
The size of this cabinet is a great option if you have a narrow dining or living room. It will still be able to fit your heirlooms without taking up too much precious space. For a warm-toned look, this cabinet would look stunning paired with deep colors like forest green and burgundy - or opt for navy blue for a cool-toned vibe instead.

Grand French Country Curio Cabinet
Bloomsbury Market
This China cabinet will make a grand statement wherever you place it. You can pick from a cherry oak or vintage bone white finish, which are made of manufactured wood with front glass doors. Three shelves and a drawer are included.
Designer Advice:
If you plan to put your cabinet in a room that doesn’t get much natural light, we recommend opting for the white finish. This is because dark furniture can make a room appear gloomy and smaller than it is, whereas lighter colors can naturally brighten a room. Pair with neutrals or with soft sea blue for a pop of color.

Red French Country Display Cabinet
This cabinet features sophisticated oversized claw feet and a shaped top. Crafted from solid and manufactured wood, its rich cherry oak finish is complemented by gorgeous carved detail at the top and base. Besides shelves, two drawers are included below.
Designer Advice:
The reddish-brown finish of this cabinet is ideal for antique homes. Pair it with chestnut or honey-toned furniture for a warm and welcoming look. If this cabinet is for your dining room, a chandelier with cream pearls would look truly beautiful and lend your space a regal look. We recommend mahogany dining chairs with matching cream cushions, too.

Large French Curio Cabinet
You can choose from a cherry oak, antique platinum, or bone white finish with this curio cabinet. It includes French dovetail joinery alongside a scrolled trim, a leaf crown, and curved feet. Inside, three shelves are highlighted by built-in lighting.
Designer Advice:
If you want to create a cottage or coastal décor style, the antique platinum or bone white finishes would be the better option. However, the cherry oak finish will fill any room with gravitas for a grand vintage look. It would be best suited to a room with high ceilings and placed near a wide window to prevent a dark look.
