Stone Mortar And Pestles For Sale on 1stDibs

At 1stDibs, there are several options of stone mortar and pestles available for sale. Frequently made of stone, wood and marble, all stone mortar and pestles available were constructed with great care. Find 55 antique and vintage stone mortar and pestles at 1stDibs now, or shop our selection of 2 modern versions for a more contemporary example of this long-cherished furniture. Stone mortar and pestles have been produced for many years, with earlier versions available from the 18th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 21st Century. Stone mortar and pestles are generally popular furniture pieces, but Modern and Art Deco styles are often sought at 1stDibs. Not every interior allows for large stone mortar and pestles, so small stone mortar and pestles measuring 5 inches across are available at 1stDibs. Many stone mortar and pestles are appealing in their simplicity, but Richard Hirsch produced popular stone mortar and pestles that are worth a look.

How Much are Stone Mortar And Pestles?

Prices for stone mortar and pestles can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, stone mortar and pestles begin at $160 and can go as high as $12,000, while the average can fetch as much as $437.

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.
