Questions About An Old Rosary
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A rosary necklace contains rosary beads that are organized in a specific fashion to help the owners pray. The beads help the individual count their prayers and can tell them which prayer to say. Shop a collection of vintage and new rosary necklaces from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 18, 2024
    To know if a rosary is antique, check its beads. The beads on modern rosaries are largely made of wood, glass or inexpensive plastic, and they’re likely linked by a chain or a cord. Old rosary beads were frequently strung on silk or another type of thread. 

    Hundreds of years ago, some rosaries, such as those produced during the 16th century for example, were made by goldsmiths. The era of mass production for these prayer beads began to take shape during the 15th century, and this development allowed for rosaries to be made of materials such as lead, glass, bone and wood. Online resources suggest that if the rosary’s crucifix and center medal are not made of the same material, it’s likely that a component of your rosary has been replaced over the years.

    In order to properly determine the age of your rosary, experts recommend working with an antiques dealer or other type of professional in the collectibles realm.

    Over time, vintage and antique religious artifacts have become popular with collectors and the devout alike, and religious art has been used to express devotion across a range of media. Find rosaries today on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021

    How old an old European-cut diamond is varies. The old European cut is a precursor to the modern round brilliant cut. The stone appears circular when looked at from the top (because of its low table or largest facet) and has a high crown (the part above the middle of the stone) with larger facets. The tip of the stone, or the culet, is flat instead of pointed. This style was used predominantly in the 19th century, hence the name. It is best to consult a certified appraiser for assistance with dating and identifying antique jewelry. On 1stDibs, find a variety of European-cut diamond jewelry.

    To tell how old jewelry is, you can compare its stylistic features to images of pieces featured on trusted online resources (engraving on a signet ring, for example, may indicate that a piece dates back at least to the 1900s). Another option is to look for a stamp or hallmark that indicates who the maker is. With some research, you may be able to determine where a manufacturer was located and how long the company was in business. It’s important to note that not all vintage or antique-looking jewelry is actually vintage or antique. Experts recommend that you take the jewelry to a certified appraiser who can evaluate and date the piece. Shop a range of jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

    How old peacock chairs are, as well as their origin, has been debated for decades. Not to be confused with the Peacock chair created by Danish furniture maker Hans J. Wegner, the iconic wicker seating design is believed to have first appeared in the Philippines. The American silent film-era actress Norma Talmadge posed in a peacock chair for a promotional photograph, and the seats became a staple of photo shoots, earning acclaim during the mid-century years in the United States when they appeared in publicity materials for prominent musicians and other celebrities. The chair became popular again during the 1960s in Haight-Ashbury, and it was featured at the time in a famous photograph of political activist and Black Panther Party cofounder Huey P. Newton. On 1stDibs, shop a range of peacock chairs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    How old something needs to be in order to be considered vintage is at least 20 years. For jewelry, furniture and decorative objects, vintage items are less than 100 years old; those produced more than a century ago are antique. Typically, clothing and accessories made two decades ago or more are classified as vintage, as antique is rarely applied to fashion.
