Finding the Right Collectibles-curiosities for You

Antique and vintage collectibles and curiosities can bring whimsy and wonder to any interior. 

Decorating with old scientific instruments, historical memorabilia and vintage musical instruments, as well as other authentic collectibles and curiosities that can be found on 1stDibs, presents an opportunity to create a unique, natural history museum-like atmosphere in your home that can provoke conversation as often as it pays tribute to how far we’ve come in understanding our world. 

And bringing collectibles and curiosities into your space is actually on trend — Wunderkammern, or curiosity cabinets, were all the rage in Europe during the 1500s and continued to have adherents there and in the U.S. in the following centuries. Today, however, they’re experiencing a real surge in popularity and influencing how many interior designers are furnishing and decorating homes — combining contemporary with antique, scientific with tribal, earthly with extraterrestrial, Les Lalanne tables with Flemish tapestries.

The original Wunderkammern were entire rooms filled with objects demonstrating their owners’ worldly knowledge: A proper one included artificiala or preciosa (objets d’art); naturalia (such as skeletons, shells, minerals); exotica (taxidermy or dried plants); and scientifica (scientific instruments), frequently alongside religious relics and ancient artifacts.

Pay tribute to a history of rich and diverse musical traditions that have taken shape all over the world by decorating your home with a collection of antique and vintage musical instruments — with a little help from strong hanging wire or some wall hooks, vintage brass instruments such as a gong, French horn or trumpet can help elevate a home office or complement the efforts you’ve made to ensure a welcoming vibe in your home’s entryway. Bells or antique wind instruments can add provocative metallic contrasts to dark woods as tabletop decorative objects.  

Create an intriguing focal point with Georgian scientific instruments, such as stick barometers with mahogany cases or lacquered brass telescopes. These items stem from an era named for the monarchies of the four King Georges, who ruled England in succession starting in 1714 (plus King William’s reign, which lasted until 1837). Just as there was beautiful jewelry produced during the period that today is coveted by collectors, there is much to be found in the collectibles and curiosities realm too.

Wanderlust, nostalgia and a shared love of good design are contributing factors to certain trends in decorating — just as vintage trunks and luggage have reappeared as furniture or home accents in a bedroom or foyer, decorating with globes, maps or nautical objects is similarly rooted in the allure of travel and a penchant for the stylish finishing touch that collectibles bring to our homes.

Find a wide range of antique and vintage collectibles and curiosities on 1stDibs.

Questions About Zeiss Binoculars

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024
    Yes, Carl Zeiss binoculars are generally thought of as good in terms of their quality. The German maker is one of the leading manufacturers of binoculars in the world. The company uses only fine-quality materials like all-metal bodies and high-end glass in its products, and strict quality controls guide the manufacturing process to ensure that its binoculars are flawless. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Carl Zeiss binoculars.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024
    To spot fake Zeiss binoculars, examine their details and compare them to photos of authentic examples of the same model. Counterfeiters often miss small details. For instance, the focus knobs may be the wrong size or shape, or screw hardware may protrude in areas where they should be flush. Checking the serial number can also be beneficial. On Zeiss binoculars, you can usually find it along the hinge, below the right eyepiece or between the tube and the left hinge. Research your model to find out where the serial number should appear. If your binoculars have the serial number somewhere else, they may not be authentic. Cross-referencing the serial number with information shared on trusted online resources can also help you identify a fake. When in doubt, consult a knowledgeable expert, such as a certified appraiser or experienced dealer. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Carl Zeiss binoculars.
