Antique Wall Shelves For Sale on 1stDibs

There is a range of antique wall shelves for sale on 1stDibs. Each of these unique antique wall shelves was constructed with extraordinary care, often using wood, metal and oak. There are all kinds of antique wall shelves available, from those produced as long ago as the 18th Century to those made as recently as the 20th Century. There are many kinds of antique wall shelves to choose from, but at 1stDibs, Victorian, Louis XV and Arts and Crafts antique wall shelves are of considerable interest. There have been many well-made antique wall shelves over the years, but those made by Emile Gallé, Carlo Bugatti and Walter Wirz are often thought to be among the most beautiful.

How Much are Antique Wall Shelves?

Antique wall shelves can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price at 1stDibs is $1,800, while the lowest priced sells for $85 and the highest can go for as much as $95,278.

Finding the Right Wall-decorations for You

An empty wall in your home is a blank canvas, and that’s good news. Whether you’ve chosen to arrange a collage of paintings in a hallway or carefully position a handful of wall-mounted sculptures in your dining room, there are a lot of options for beautifying your space with the antique and vintage wall decor and decorations available on 1stDibs.

If you’re seeking inspiration for your wall decor, we’ve got some ideas (and we can show you how to arrange wall art, too).

“I recommend leaving enough space above the piece of furniture to allow for usable workspace and to protect the art from other items damaging it,” says Susana Simonpietri, of Brooklyn home design studio Chango Co.

Hanging a single attention-grabbing large-scale print or poster over your bar or bar cart can prove intoxicating, but the maximalist approach of a salon-style hang, a practice rooted in 17th-century France, can help showcase works of various shapes, styles and sizes on a single wall or part of a wall.

If you’re planning on creating an accent wall — or just aiming to bring a variety of colors and textures into a bedroom — there is more than one way to decorate with wallpaper. Otherwise, don’t overlook what textiles can introduce to a space. A vintage tapestry can work wonders and will be easy to move when you’ve found that dream apartment in another borough.

Express your taste and personality with the right ornamental touch for the walls of your home or office — find a range of contemporary art, vintage photography, paintings and other wall decor and decorations on 1stDibs now.

Questions About Antique Wall Shelves
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Typically, the best way to hang wall shelves on a wall is through the studs. The studs are the strong vertical beams that form the frames of walls. You can locate them using a tool called a stud finder. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of wall shelves.
