Bulgari
The founder of the Bulgari brand is Sotirios Voulgaris who was born in March 1857 and came from the Epirus Village of Paramythia, the largest Aromanian center of silversmithing in the Balkans. He was one of eleven children of his father Georgios Voulgaris (1823–1889) and his Aromanian mother Eleni Stronggaris. In 1881, Sotirios Bulgari moved to Rome and, in 1884, opened his first store on via Sistina 85. In 1888, he married Aromanian Eleni Basio with whom he had six children: Constantine-Georgios (1889–1973), Leonidas-Georgios (1890–1966), Maria-Athena (1891–1976), Sofia (1893–1908), Alexandra (1895–1984) and Spyridon (1897–1932); Leonidas-Georgios is the father of the current chairman of the company, Paolo Bulgari.[9] In 1905, he unveiled the Via Condotti shop that would become the company's flagship.[10] In its early years, Bulgari was known for silver pieces that borrowed elements from Byzantine and Islamic art, combining them with floral motifs. At the time, Paris was the apex of fashion and creativity, and its trends influenced Sotirio's designs for decades: jewels of the early 20s were characterised by platinum Art Deco settings while those of the 30s featured geometric diamond motifs—sometimes set in combination with coloured gemstones. Convertible jewels...

Vintage Danish Table Lamp from Kastrup Glass for Holmegaard
By Kastrup
Located in Søborg, DK
Vintage Danish table lamp by Kastrup glass for Holmegaard in blue hand blown glass from the 1960s.
Rewired with twisted black cloth flex and can be delivered with an EU UK or US plug.
The work was laid on 12 October 1847 by master of the stable Christian Conrad Sophus Count Danneskiold-Samsøe. In 1873 it was transferred to a limited company and in the same year Godthaab Glasværk near Helsingør (founded approx. 1858 by Mathias Jørgensen) was leased. This was definitively taken over in 1883, and in 1881 Tuborg Fabrikers Glasværk was bought, which was named Hellerup Glasværk. In the meantime, the count had disposed of the works in 1873. From 1907, the glass works were run in close collaboration with A/S De forenede Glasværker, Odense, and A/S Frederiksberg Glasværk, whose shares it took over. Under A/S De forenenede Glasværker belonged Fyns Glasværk, Odense, (founded 11 June 1874) and until 1907 Aarhus Glasværk, Århus, (founded 1898), which was then taken over by A/S Kastrup Glasværk. In 1918, the share capital in the glassworks in Aalborg was also acquired (founded in 1853 by chamberlain August Theodor Schütte, transferred to a limited company in 1905). In addition to Kastrup Glasværk, the company operated the following works: Hellerup Glasværk, De forenenede Glasværker i Odense and Aarhus Glasværk.
In 1892, the company had a large headquarters built at Nørre Voldgade 12 in Copenhagen by architect Philip Smidth. The building still bears the company's name.
The factory first had a large production of mouth-blown bottles, which were mechanized in 1912. Since then, mouth-blown drinking glasses, glassware, pocket larks, cheese bells...

Shop Unique Furniture on 1stDibs
When it comes to shopping for vintage, new and antique furniture — whether you’re finally moving into that long-coveted loft apartment, ranch-style home, townhouse or furnishing your weekend house on the lake — you should think of your home as a stage for the seating, tables, lighting, storage cabinets and other pieces that best match your personality.
Coziness, comfort and creating a welcoming space are among the important things to consider when buying furniture, whether that means seeking strict cohesion or rooms characterized by a mix-and-match assembly of varying shapes, colors and materials. And for those who now work from home, exercise, eat and relax within the same four walls every day, they’ll also want to think about flexibility and an innovative approach.
Have you built your dream kitchen?
Is your current living-room furniture all that it could be?
Does your toast-worthy bar or vintage bar cart exude equal parts class and cheeriness?
And importantly, is your home office — backyard or otherwise — a happy one, regardless of the design style you happen to gravitate toward?
Although mid-century modern, rustic, minimalist, Art Deco and contemporary looks remain popular, they aren’t the only styles available to design connoisseurs.
Furniture styles are nothing if not fluid, meaning what’s popular one year may not be the next. That’s why it’s crucial to not only pay attention to interior-design trends but also focus on the styles that speak to you. That way, you (and your interior designer, if that is in the plans) can work to create a home that’s entirely your own, complete with impressively modern decor as well as an array of history’s universally renowned iconic designs.
It’s difficult to single out well-recognized designs from what is a crowded pantheon of celebrated and seminal furnishings. Certain outstanding designs have such stellar quality they’ve endured for decades as bona fide cultural treasures, still being manufactured, in many cases, by the same venerable companies that shepherded them into being (think Herman Miller, Knoll and Fritz Hansen). Some works come immediately to mind as contenders for any short list. When you’re discussing the most popular mid-century modern chairs, for example, no tally would be complete without citing designs by Arne Jacobsen, Charlotte Perriand, Charles and Ray Eames and Hans Wegner.
Good furniture, be it authentic vintage furniture or new & custom furniture, allows you to comfortably sit and tell your favorite stories. Great furniture tells a story of its own.
On 1stDibs, find everything from sofas to serveware to credenzas to coffee tables, and every other type of antique, vintage and new furniture you need to create a singular space that you’ll be proud to call home.
