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 Modular Candle Holder
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Hurricane candle holders are glass cylindrical domes which go around a candle to protect the flame from getting doused. These candle holders can also be attached to the wall as a hurricane shade.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    How tall a candle holder should be depends on the size of the candle you’re using and the overall look of the room. Compared to a candle, a holder should be at least as tall. When choosing candle holders, choose ones that won’t obscure the view. For example, lower candlesticks and candelabras work best on dining tables because they allow you to see the person across from you. On 1stDibs, find a range of candle holders.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023
    The difference between a candlestick and a candle holder is specificity. A candlestick is a tall turned decorative object typically used to display taper candles. Any object made specifically to hold candles is a candle holder. Candlesticks are candle holders, but there are other kinds, including tall shades called hurricanes and small cylindrical containers called votive cups. Shop an assortment of candle holders on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    What glass candle holders are called depends on their design. Curvy clear glass shades used to cover pillar candles are hurricanes, while smaller glass holders with closed bottoms are votive or tealight cups. On 1stDibs, find a selection of antique and vintage glass candle holders.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    One of the most common candle holders in use during Medieval times was the simple candlestick.

  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    Some of the most common types of candle holders include candlesticks, candelabras, hurricanes and votive cups. A candlestick is a column-like holder for tapers, while a candelabra is a multi-armed taper holder with a single candlestick-like body. Hurricanes are tall round shades designed for pillar candles, and a votive cup is a small cylindrical holder for a votive candle or tealight. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of candle holders.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    What vintage candle holders are called depends on their design. Narrow tall ones designed for tapers are candlesticks, while multi-armed taper holders are candelabra. Small holders are votive or tealight holders or cups depending on their dimensions. Find a selection of vintage candle holders on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    What tall candle holders are called varies. Holders intended for pillar candles are hurricanes and are often made of glass. Tall wood or metal candle holders for one taper are candlesticks, while ones with multiple arms that accommodate more than one taper are candelabras. On 1stDibs, find a collection of candle holders.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023
    What the candle holders in churches are called depends on the design. Column-like holders for single tapers are candlesticks, while multi-branched holders for tapers are candelabras.

  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023

Put pillar and votive candles on decorative plates or trays, or rest them on a decorative tile, coaster or wood slice. You can drop votives and tealights in shallow bowls, clay pots, wine glasses and other vessels. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of decorative accents.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Because pillar candle holders burn into themselves, they do not need a candle holder. But it makes sense to have a pillar plate at least to prevent wax residue from ending up on your furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A wall-mounted candle holder is called a candle sconce or a wall sconce. Sconces come in a variety of colors and shapes, sure to suit any decor style. You’ll find a wide range of candle sconces in a variety of decor styles on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    To tell if a candle holder is solid antique brass, you can try placing a magnet on it. Brass is not magnetic, so if there is any attraction, the piece is unlikely to be solid brass. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of candle holders.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023
    What an old-fashioned candle holder is called depends on its design. A tall holder meant for a single taper candle is a candlestick, while taper holders with arms that branch off a central column are candelabras. Shop a range of candle holders on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021

Shop a collection of antique and vintage candelabras from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    To tell if a silver candle holder is real, find out if a magnet is attracted to it. Solid sterling silver and fine silver aren't magnetic. However, some silver plate candle holders may be. Silver plate is the term for items made of base metal and then finished with a layer of genuine silver. If the magnet sticks to your candle holders, they may be silver plate or constructed out of a different material. If you'd like an expert's assistance with the identification process, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Find a variety of candle holders on 1stDibs.
