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 Antique Seth Thomas
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024
    To identify a Seth Thomas clock, check its movement for a maker's mark. You may need to remove the back of the clock to access it. During the 19th and mid-20th centuries, the clockmaker usually used its full name in script or block letters to mark its pieces. Later clocks are more likely to display either an S centered with a diamond or the initials ST positioned in a circle. If you have trouble finding a marking, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can perform the identification process for you. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Seth Thomas clocks.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    To tell the date on a Seth Thomas clock, look for a code on the bottom or case back. Most pieces will show the year of production first, with the numbers reversed. Then, you'll usually see a letter. These letters correspond to months, with A representing January, B representing February and L corresponding to December. For example, a date code that reads 31F's manufacturing date would be June 1913. If you need help with the dating process, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you. Find a collection of Seth Thomas clocks on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To date a Seth Thomas mantel clock, examine the gears inside. If the movement is wood, the production date of the clock is somewhere between 1817 and 1830. Clocks made after 1881 may feature an ink code date stamp on the case back or bottom. A licensed appraiser can provide assistance with determining the exact manufacturing year. Shop a variety of expertly vetted Seth Thomas mantel clocks on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024
