Antique Black Wall Shelf For Sale on 1stDibs

Find many varieties of an authentic antique black wall shelf available at 1stDibs. Frequently made of wood, metal and walnut, every antique black wall shelf was constructed with great care. Your living room may not be complete without an antique black wall shelf — find older editions for sale from the 18th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. An antique black wall shelf made by Art Deco designers — as well as those associated with Victorian — is very popular. You’ll likely find more than one antique black wall shelf that is appealing in its simplicity, but Adolfo Magrini, Black Forest and Eugene Schopin produced versions that are worth a look.

How Much is a Antique Black Wall Shelf?

The average selling price for an antique black wall shelf at 1stDibs is $1,622, while they’re typically $165 on the low end and $14,750 for the highest priced.

Finding the Right Wall-decorations for You

An empty wall in your home is a blank canvas, and that’s good news. Whether you’ve chosen to arrange a collage of paintings in a hallway or carefully position a handful of wall-mounted sculptures in your dining room, there are a lot of options for beautifying your space with the antique and vintage wall decor and decorations available on 1stDibs.

If you’re seeking inspiration for your wall decor, we’ve got some ideas (and we can show you how to arrange wall art, too).

“I recommend leaving enough space above the piece of furniture to allow for usable workspace and to protect the art from other items damaging it,” says Susana Simonpietri, of Brooklyn home design studio Chango & Co.

Hanging a single attention-grabbing large-scale print or poster over your bar or bar cart can prove intoxicating, but the maximalist approach of a salon-style hang, a practice rooted in 17th-century France, can help showcase works of various shapes, styles and sizes on a single wall or part of a wall.

If you’re planning on creating an accent wall — or just aiming to bring a variety of colors and textures into a bedroom — there is more than one way to decorate with wallpaper. Otherwise, don’t overlook what textiles can introduce to a space. A vintage tapestry can work wonders and will be easy to move when you’ve found that dream apartment in another borough.

Express your taste and personality with the right ornamental touch for the walls of your home or office — find a range of contemporary art, vintage photography, paintings and other wall decor and decorations on 1stDibs now.
