Grata Carla!
neutral Jennifer Levey : 'closet' is far more commonly preceded by 'water' in UK English, so there's a serious risk of raising a laugh amongst Asker's non-US readers.

Closet, by itself, wouldn't raise a laugh. I lived in the UK for 20 years to know that...

Peer comment(s):
neutral Jennifer Levey : Your translation and webrefs are obviously referring to a typical piece of French furniture and are using the (supposedly) 'posh' French word as if it were English. But this is not the usual term in 'common or garden' English.

display cabinet

That´s what I would say! (I wouldn´t say "cupboard" - to me, that implies something with doors which you can´t see through!)
