A china cabinet is typically an ornate piece of furniture used to display fine china, glassware, vases, and other decorative items like antiques and figurines. They are usually designed to function as tall, freestanding cabinets with glass doors to allow for the items stored inside the shelves to be visible in living and dining rooms. The cabinet may also have interior lighting or mirrors to enhance the display of such items.
China cabinets are made of various high-quality materials, such as wood, metal, and glass. They come in a variety of styles, both traditional and contemporary. Most have additional storage features, like drawers or cabinets, for storing silverware and dining-related items.
You probably don’t associate china cabinets with hidden storage compartments. But the market for gun concealment storage is very creative and almost any piece of furniture can be fashioned to include hidden gun compartments.
A china cabinet with hidden gun storage should still be used for displaying fine china or other decorative items, but will also include a concealed compartment for storing small firearms and accessories, such as handguns, ammunition and personal valuables.
The compartment will be hidden from view and only accessible by the gun owner and other authorized individuals. Like all gun concealment furniture, the primary purpose of the hidden firearm storage is to provide a secure and discreet area for hiding firearms, while keeping them out of sight and out of mind.
A well-designed concealment china cabinet will offer quick access to your firearms in case of an emergency. The china cabinet should be aesthetically pleasing to compliment the fine china and ornaments displayed inside, otherwise it’s just an ordinary tableware cabinet.
The Gun Source does not currently make any China Cabinet Concealment Furniture unless done so as a custom order.
