Finding the Right Decorative Objects for You
Every time you move into a house or an apartment — or endeavor to refresh the home you’ve lived in for years — life for that space begins anew. The right home accent, be it the simple placement of a decorative bowl on a shelf or a ceramic vase for fresh flowers, can transform an area from drab to spectacular. But with so many materials and items to choose from, it’s easy to get lost in the process. The key to styling with antique and vintage decorative objects is to work toward making a happy home that best reflects your personal style.
Ceramics are a versatile addition to any home. If you’ve amassed an assortment of functional pottery over the years, think of your mugs and salad bowls as decorative objects, ideal for displaying in a glass cabinet. Vintage ceramic serveware can pop along white open shelving in your dining area, while large stoneware pitchers paired with woven baskets or quilts in an open cupboard can introduce a rustic farmhouse-style element to your den.
Translucent decorative boxes or bowls made of an acrylic plastic called Lucite — a game changer in furniture that’s easy to clean and lasts long — are modern accents that are neutral enough to dress up a coffee table or desktop without cluttering it. If you’re showcasing pieces from the past, a vintage jewelry box for displaying your treasures can spark conversation: Where is the jewelry box from? Is there a story behind it?
Abstract sculptures or an antique vessel for your home library can draw attention to your book collection and add narrative charm to the most appropriate of corners. There’s more than one way to style your bookcases, and decorative objects add a provocative dynamic. “I love magnifying glasses,” says Alex Assouline, global vice president of luxury publisher Assouline, of adding one’s cherished objects to a home library. “They are both useful and decorative. Objects really elevate libraries and can also make them more personal.”
To help with personalizing your space and truly making it your own, find an extraordinary collection of decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023To identify Murano glass, look for a label. You may find it on the bottom or the back of a piece. The label will usually specify the name of the glassworks that produced it. Consult trusted online resources to determine if a given artisan or workshop is known for making Murano glass. Authentic Murano glass is universally known for its quality, so look for pieces that feature smooth, even surfaces and bold, vibrant colors. The Vetro Artistico Murano trademark is an official trademark of the Venetian Glassmakers Association and may be of use in determining if your Murano glass is authentic, but buyers should keep in mind that the market is flooded with imitations of this glass. Experts recommend working with a certified appraiser to get assistance with identifying specific pieces. Find a range of Murano glassware on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are a variety of ways to ensure the authenticity of your Murano glass clown. The easiest way is with a certificate of authenticity, which comes with all Murano glass pieces. It should state that the piece was made in Venice or Murano. Any other location is not Murano glass. Always purchase Murano glass from a reputable seller to ensure authenticity. Shop a large collection of authentic Murano glass from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Is Murano glass valuable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023Whether Murano glass is valuable depends on a variety of factors, including the type of piece and its condition. Artisans on Murano, an island in Venice, Italy, produce the colorful glassware through a unique process. Murano glass is identifiable by its richly layered colors and characteristic gold or silver flecks inside the glass. Authentic Murano glass often has small imperfections and an irregular shape due to the freeform creation process. One of the earliest Venetian glass furnaces is believed to have been established as far back as the 8th century (the filigrana technique is as old as the 16th century). A certified appraiser can help you determine the value and authenticity of a particular piece. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Murano glassware.
