Finding the Right Boxes for You
From mere trinkets to useful receptacles that serve a distinct purpose, antique boxes as decorative objects have come in many forms over the years. No matter what they’re made of or where they end up in your home, decorative boxes add both style and storage to your space.
The decorative box that is likely most common is the jewelry box. These boxes were originally known as jewel caskets and were in common use in Ancient Egypt, as most Egyptians wore some sort of jewelry. A portable jewelry box, in its original intended use, was integral to keeping your jewelry safe and secure. This accessory has transformed in size, shape and appearance over the years. Initially it was common for a jewelry box to bear intricate ornamentation. Whether they’re mid-century modern works of marble and brass or feature playful Art Deco–style geometric decor, jewelry boxes boast real staying power.
Snuff boxes began to soar in popularity during the 17th century (and were commonplace in European homes by the mid-19th century). The boxes, some hand-painted with landscape scenes, some made from gold, porcelain or stone, contained a small amount of tobacco, which users would sniff, or “snuff,” throughout the day. Some particularly ornamental snuff boxes featured enameled designs or were set with precious gems and were given as gifts or party favors, particularly at the coronation of royalty or other lavish events.
Whether you’re organizing important mail in the foyer or tucking away medications in your bathroom, antique boxes — be they metal tea caddies, sterling-silver decorative boxes or Victorian cigar boxes made of oak (even if you don’t smoke) — are a sophisticated solution to help keep the surfaces in your home clutter-free. And no matter if you’re seeking a decorative box to beautify a desktop or bestow upon a loved one, you are sure to find something you love in the collection of antique and vintage boxes on 1stDibs.
Questions About Opaline Glass Caskets
- How do I identify opaline glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024To identify opaline glass, try holding it up to a natural light source. Most pieces will appear semi-translucent and have a pinkish-red tint when viewed in the sun. Next, search for seam marks. By the 19th century, artisans used a free-blowing technique to produce opaline glass, so most pieces are free of seams. You'll also usually see a pontil on the mark, which forms when the glass is broken off during the production process. Maker's marks can also provide a clue, as some makers are especially well-known for opaline glass. Among them are Baccarat, Lalique, Saint-Louis, Le Creusot, Portieux Vallerystahl and Loren Hope. If you're still unsure whether your piece is opaline, consult a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. Explore a range of opaline glass objects on 1stDibs.
- What is French opaline glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022French opaline glass was made in France between 1810 and 1890 and has a white finish that resembles milk glass. The first colors made were turquoise, yellow and pink, but as the period progressed they made brighter colors in an effort to imitate Bohemian glass. Find a collection of expertly vetted French opaline glass from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Opaline glass denotes many forms of opaque glass, but primarily identifies a decorative style of glass popularized in France during the 1800s. The glass appears opaque or slightly translucent, and can come in white or a variety of bright colors. Shop a selection of opaline glass vases and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024To identify French opaline glass, hold it up to a light source. Genuine opaline glass should appear translucent and take on a pink or red tint. Also, turn the piece over. Because opaline glass is hand-blown, you should see a small circular point at the center of the base. If you're still not certain about the identification, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer can assist you. Find a range of opaline glass on 1stDibs.
