Bohemian Amber Etched Glass Coach Scenic Jewelry Casket, circa 1880
Bohemian Amber Etched Glass Coach Scenic Jewelry Casket, circa 1880

Bohemian Amber Etched Glass Coach Scenic Jewelry Casket, circa 1880

Located in Atlanta, GA

A fine late 19th-century Bohemian amber glass jewelry casket or table box, formed with a hinged domed lid, rounded rectangular body, and patinated metal mounts with latch and hinge. The translucent yellow-amber glass is decorated with finely etched scenic panels, including architectural and landscape motifs rendered in pale frosted contrast against the warm glass body. The combination of amber glass, engraved decoration, and mounted casket form gives the piece the intimate luxury associated with Victorian-period dressing table objects and Continental decorative glass. Research into comparable examples supports a Bohemian attribution, particularly within the late 19th-century tradition of engraved amber, ruby, and colored glass caskets with gilt or patinated metal mounts. Related Bohemian glass caskets...

Antique and Vintage Decorative Objects for Sale: Find Vases, Bowls, Boxes and Clocks on 1stDibs

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 Decorative Objects

  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    The difference between an artist and an artisan is what they make. Artists use technical skills and imagination to create works that communicate messages, tell stories and share ideas. Paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints are some of the types of things that artists produce. Artisans practice a trade and use their expertise to craft functional objects such as furniture, jewelry and pottery. Shop a wide variety of art, furniture and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024
    Artisans make a wide variety of goods. Generally, craftspeople who use their hands to produce items are thought of as artisans. Some examples of artisan-crafted goods include pottery, stained glass, blown glass, rugs, jewelry, blankets, ornamental objects, floral arrangements and furniture. Find a large collection of artisan-crafted decorative objects on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between an interior decorator and an interior designer is in the specialties of these two types of design professionals. An interior designer considers how clients use the various rooms of their home and their personal preferences. Then, they determine how best to arrange furniture in the rooms and what types of finishes, lighting and other elements will work best in these spaces. An interior decorator recommends furniture, wall coverings, floor coverings, lights and decorative objects to enhance the appearance of rooms. They're less likely to consider functionality than interior designers. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of furniture and home decor.
