French Pâtisserie Boulangerie Bakery or Bistro Display by Siégel et Hommey Paris

French Pâtisserie Boulangerie (Bakery) or Possibly a French Bistro Brass Shelf Retail Display. Our Old Plank Restoration Department just finished a thorough restoration of our polished brass 3-shelf display stand with custom fabricated solid walnut shelves. The inlay on the walnut shelves has also been crafted from solid brass and the shelves are easily adjustable.

Antique Parisian Polished Brass Thick Glass Display Shelf for Liquor or Glasses

Fortunately, our French Brass and Glass Shelf Display survived the test of time and after being sent out for straightening and polishing the look is simply beautiful. Thick half-inch Glass Shelves (one small chip) help to finish off the Parisian Bistro Style that so many of us are looking for. We can just as easily image the Brass and Glass Shelf stand being used in a Country French Kitchen. Our Old Plank Restoration Department is just finishing an additional Solid Brass 3...

Antique, New and Vintage Shelves

From valuable historical memorabilia to rare architectural models to priceless family photos, there’s no shortage of collectibles and curiosities worthy of adorning your home. Why not take the time to find the ideal antique, new or vintage shelves for your treasured trinkets?

For every space and object, there’s sure to be a wall-mounted or sturdy floor solution that matches your shelving needs on 1stDibs. And while shelves should technically stick out from your wall, they shouldn’t from the rest of your decor.

Because you can find shelves made with a wide variety of materials today, everything from teak to brass, your shelving can seamlessly support your existing color scheme and design style. An arrangement of shelves from floor to ceiling can turn your wall into a proud storage space for displaying artwork, decorative objects and books. Options abound with regard to shelving for the latter, as furniture designers know that literature creates an inviting atmosphere in any room, and one of the simplest ways to integrate books into an interior design is with the right shelves or bookcase.

Elegant shelving is a must for a happy home office or library, but a sharp shelving system can freshen up virtually any room in your home. Proudly display your vintage dinner plates and other tableware with open shelving in the kitchen or tuck away linens in big baskets on shelves in your bathroom if you’re navigating life without a proper linen closet.

On 1stDibs, find a wide range of shelves that includes everything from mid-century modern floating shelves to decorative Chinese shelves dating from the 18th century to contemporary statement-making structures that are as provocative as they are convenient.
