Bottega Intreccio Woven Wicker 21st Century Mawa Centerpiece, by Setsu & Shinobu
Located in Mogliano, Marche
Mawa
“A centerpiece draw its inspiration from Nature. Mawa, narrow at the base and wider towards the top, borrows its features from a flower in all its splendor.”
This container reinterprets the archetype of the woven basket in a contemporary way, with ample proportions and organic
asymmetrical forms. The wicker is enhanced by a leather band at the base that gives the object decorative impact. The piece is difficult to make precisely due to the asymmetrical form.
Use and maintenance
All the items are made with raw materials and are guaranteed for interiors.
If it is necessary, they can also be installed outdoors as long as they are
sufficiently protected from atmospheric agents and not directly exposed
to the sunlight or water, in spaces like verandas, gazebos,
arcades or protected spaces.
The raw materials used for weavings could be not extremely
homogeneous due to different physical properties and the items could
have dimensions a bit different from descriptions listed in this document.
The colors could change for the same reasons. Those features are
the demonstration of authenticity of each product that is unique and
handcrafted in Italy by Mogliano’s masters.
Woven wicker is extremely resistant over the years, if it is stored in a dry
place and without excessive temperature changes, and it could also change color or nuances due to its sunlight exposure based-on nature. The weaving
by the craftsman is performed with soft and wet material, an the material dries naturally with the passage of time losing its elasticity.
For this reason, avoid excessive pressures, overloads of heavy weights or impacts. The bases or wooden parts are entirely in solid wood: with the aging they could change in size and present natural micro-cracks. Avoid direct and long exposure to the sun, completely avoid wetting.
About the lamp usage, in normal condition the items don’t require special maintenance.
Technicals
About item technical details and bulbs specifications, please
refer to the technical data sheets.
Cleaning
Use a soft cloth for cleaning. Don’t use any chemicals, acids, scourers or steel brushes.
The base in natural wood must be cleaned and dusted using a soft cloth,
even slightly damp. Immediately wipe again with a soft, dry cloth.
For lamps cleaning, unplug the appliance from electric power...

Huge Antique Hand Blown & Formed Thick Deep Green Wine or Spirits Bottle
Located in Hamilton, Ontario
This very large and substantial antique wine bottle's exact origins are unknown, but it is presumed to be English or possibly Dutch and dating from the early 1700's. The bottle was hand blown and formed and uses a very thick deep olive green glass. The slightly bent neck has a very thick stem and top which leads to a large bulbous or flask shaped base. The front and back sides have been slightly flattened which was likely done for packing and stability during shipping. The capacity of this bottle has not been tested, but presumed to be in the 2 Imperial gallon...

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.
