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.

Questions About Gold Decorative Plates
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Gold plated items contain real gold, but are mostly composed of a different base metal. Generally, gold plated objects are made from copper or silver with a very thin layer of gold over the base metal.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024
    Yes, gold plating does tarnish in some cases. Compounds in the air, sweat, beauty products and cleaning products can react with metals and cause discoloration. To keep your gold-plated jewelry looking great, follow the maker's care and storage instructions and remove it before swimming, showering, applying skin care products and cosmetics and working with household chemicals. Shop a variety of gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024
    Whether gold-plated watches are valuable varies. Gold-plated watches generally contain very little gold, as they are primarily a base metal, to which a thin layer of gold alloy is applied as a finish. As a result, the timepieces typically don't have much value on the scrap market. However, a gold-plated watch may have value based on its age, maker, model, condition and other factors. A certified appraiser or experienced jeweler can help you determine how much your watch may be worth. Find a wide range of gold watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024
    Whether Swarovski gold plating tarnishes varies. When exposed to sweat, salty air, chemicals or other substances, any type of gold-plated jewelry may develop discoloration. Following Swarovski's care and storage instructions can reduce the risk of tarnishing. Generally, you should avoid wearing jewelry when showering, swimming, applying skin care products or working with household chemicals to protect it from discoloration and damage. Explore an assortment of Swarovski jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Whether Dunhill lighters are gold-plated varies. Some pieces do feature genuine 18-karat yellow gold plating, while others are made of materials like sterling silver, brass, chrome and lacquer. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Dunhill lighters from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023
    Whether the Chanel logo on a handbag is gold-plated depends on the age of the piece. Up until 2008, Chanel hardware featured 24-karat gold plating. Bags manufactured in 2008 or after have gold-toned hardware that isn't genuine gold. Shop a range of Chanel handbags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, Omega did indeed make a gold-plated watch. The Seamaster, which was released in 1961, featured gold-plated finishes and a self-winding movement. On 1stDibs, you can find a collection of expertly vetted Omega watches from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Gold Rolex pieces are only made with solid gold, never gold-plated. Crafted with high-quality materials, Rolex uses 18-karat gold made at their in-house foundries to ensure the utmost premium metals are used in each Rolex. Shop a selection of gold Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    The term 14-karat gold plated means that an item has a thin layer of 14-karat gold applied over a base metal like copper or brass. Fourteen-carat gold refers to metal that is 58.5% pure gold and 41.5% alloy. An alloy could be silver, zinc, copper or another metal. Shop a selection of 14-karat gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A piece of jewelry or a decorative object marked 18K gold plated does likely contain real gold. The marking indicates that the item is metal under a layer of gold alloy that contains 75 percent gold and 25 percent other metal. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of expertly vetted gold jewelry.
