Mandaric Decorative Arts For Sale on 1stDibs
Find a variety of mandaric decorative arts available on 1stDibs. The range of distinct mandaric decorative arts — often made from metal, ceramic and pewter — can elevate any home. Mandaric decorative arts have long been popular, with older editions for sale from the 19th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. Mandaric decorative arts made by Art Deco designers — as well as those associated with Scandinavian Modern — are very popular at 1stDibs. Large mandaric decorative arts can prove too imposing for some spaces, so the smaller mandaric decorative arts available at 1stDibs — each spanning 1.58 inches in width — may make for a better choice. Many mandaric decorative arts are appealing in their simplicity, but Gustavsberg, GAB Guldsmedsaktiebolaget and Gunnar Nylund produced popular mandaric decorative arts that are worth a look.
How Much are Mandaric Decorative Arts?
Mandaric decorative arts can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price at 1stDibs is $1,100, while the lowest priced sells for $380 and the highest can go for as much as $11,000.
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.
