Finding the Right Centerpieces for You

A hallmark of design in an entertainment space is the centerpiece. Its main function is to draw the eye to a specific place in the room and promote symmetry. In dining areas, antique, new or vintage centerpieces can bring the entire tablescape of fine fabrics and china together.

A sculptural Art Deco–inspired primrose yellow cake stand is an example of how a singular item can transform the table. The New York– and Los Angeles–based interior designer Alexandra Loew agrees, suggesting that one such 1930s-era Schneider Glass piece, for example, could add a cheerful jolt to any staid dining table. Julia Buckingham, ​​of the Chicago firm Buckingham Interiors + Design, defines her style as “modernique” and shares with 1stDibs a striking dining-room project for Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS: white multidimensional art for the walls, monochromatic fabric from Pierre Frey for the dining chairs and large vases that are inspired by antlers for centerpieces, which she created for Global Views..

Centerpieces can be functional to the environment or a conversation starter. Explore a wide variety of antique, new and vintage centerpieces on 1stDibs — there are options for any space in one’s home. And don’t forget, unique centerpiece options for your dining table can also include an antique soup tureen brightened with flowers, stemless drinkware and other glass with flower heads, decorative vases and vessels and more.

Questions About Gold Plate Epergnes
  • 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 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 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 ExpertMay 5, 2023
