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.

- What is the rarest clock?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 16, 2024What the rarest clock is today will owe to a particular model's presence on the market. The rarest and most sought-after clocks in the world include those created by Patek Philippe, Waltham Watch Company, Cartier, Hermle, E. Howard Co. and Thomas Tompion.
If a given model designed by one of these manufacturers is scarce, this attribute will be critical to determining its value providing there is demand for it. While other factors are at play when it comes to value, scarcity is important in the world of collectibles.
Clocks designed in recent decades may be worth more than their older counterparts if fewer of the former are on the market. For example, an antique clock manufactured in a large quantity, even if it is an exceptionally decorative object adorned with gilt bronze flowers and tortoiseshell elements, may be worth far less than a one-of-a-kind vintage clock owing entirely to rarity and demand.
A table clock designed by prestigious English clockmaker Thomas Tompion for Queen Mary in 1693 was sold at auction for more than $2 million in 2019, while a clock named the Duc d'Orléans Breguet Sympathique, designed by the Swiss house of Breguet in the 1830s, fetched $6.8 million at auction in 2012. There are an estimated 12 Sympathiques in existence.
