The word “credenza” comes from the Italian word for “trust” or “confidence,” as during the Italian Renaissance, servants would sample food and drink on credenzas to test it for poison before serving it to their employer. For their versatility and high storage capacity, modern sideboard cabinets have also found their way into other rooms in the home, acting similarly to console tables in living rooms, entryways, and home offices.Ī credenza is a type of decorative sideboard distinguished by its low, narrow stature and broad cabinets, which may have ornate wood or glass doors that swing or slide open. Mid-century modern sideboards and buffets showcase straight, clean lines (particularly in slatting), subtle recessed cabinet and drawer pulls, and warm wood finishes, like oak or walnut. Where traditional sideboards and buffet cabinets often featured dark wood finishes, intricate inlays, and ornate wood carvings, modern sideboards and modern buffet tables forego embellishment in favor of minimalist simplicity. Sideboards may also be called buffet tables for the buffet style of dining they’re commonly used for – typically, a host will display tableware and platters of food atop a sideboard so diners may serve themselves as they please. Their broad, flat surfaces are usually used for displaying or serving food, drinks, and desserts. Sideboards typically feature large cabinets or cupboards with swinging doors and other storage compartments, like drawers or shelves.
