Traditional curio cabinets often lack the height to command attention in formal dining rooms, leaving collectibles overlooked. The Furniture Classics Reims Cathedral Black Arched Cabinet, available at LOOMLAN with free shipping, solves this with a dramatic 93-inch arched silhouette, mullioned glass doors, and adjustable shelves with plate grooves. Finished in charcoal and brown, this display cabinet merges cathedral-inspired architecture with functional storage for china, crystal, and heirlooms.

What Is a Curio Cabinet?
A curio cabinet is a freestanding or wall-mounted display case with glass panels designed to showcase collectibles, china, or decorative objects while protecting them from dust. Unlike china cabinets, which typically include a buffet base for serving, curio cabinets prioritize visibility through glass fronts and adjustable shelving.
What You Get With the Furniture Classics Reims Cathedral Cabinet
- Dramatic Arched Silhouette -- the 93-inch height and pagoda top with turned finials (removable for a modern look) anchor formal dining rooms.
- Mullioned Glass Doors -- cathedral-style glazing frames collectibles while the charcoal and brown finish adds contemporary contrast.
- Adjustable Shelves With Plate Grooves -- fully adjustable light gray interior shelves securely display plates and bowls at varying heights.
- Hidden Drawer and Recessed Shelf -- a concealed drawer beneath the apron stores linens; the lower recessed shelf between the legs holds serving platters.
- Reclaimed Pine Construction -- solid reclaimed pine delivers durability and rustic texture suited to high-traffic dining spaces.
Where Does a Black Arched Display Cabinet Work Best?
Place this glass door curio cabinet in a formal dining room flanking a buffet sideboard, or use it as a statement piece in an entryway to showcase collectibles. Pair with dining room furniture in dark wood or metal finishes to echo the charcoal tone, and add interior LED puck lights to illuminate the light gray shelves.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a china cabinet and a curio cabinet?
- China cabinets typically include a lower buffet base for storage and serving, while curio cabinets like the Reims focus on glass display with adjustable shelving and no serving surface.
- What do you store in a curio cabinet?
- Store fine china, crystal glassware, porcelain figurines, heirlooms, or collectibles; the adjustable shelves with plate grooves and hidden drawer accommodate both displayed and concealed items.
- Do curio cabinets need to be plugged in for the lights?
- This cabinet does not include built-in lighting; add battery-operated or plug-in LED puck lights to the interior shelves for illumination.
- How tall should a buffet be in a dining room?
- Standard buffets measure 32--36 inches tall; at 93 inches, this arched cabinet serves as a vertical display rather than a serving buffet, ideal for tall ceilings.
- Does the Reims Cathedral cabinet require assembly?
- Minimal assembly is typical for display cabinets of this size; contact LOOMLAN at 833-566-6526 for specific assembly details.
- How do I organize a china cabinet for everyday use?
- Place everyday dinnerware on lower adjustable shelves, reserve upper shelves for decorative pieces, and use the hidden drawer for table linens or flatware.
