Used decor and vintage accessories: glass, ceramics, textiles, single pieces

1 9

Used decor is the fastest way to a home that looks like you and not like a catalogue: every piece exists exactly once.

At 2nd home you will find more than 200 vintage accessories and used decor from second hand: crystal by Sèvres, pressed glass by Luminarc, vases and bowls from Murano, silver by Tiffany und Co., hand-knotted rugs by rugtales, ceramics and candles, plus small furniture and collectibles from household clearances. Every object is described with photos of its true condition. For a targeted search, go to the vases, the tableware, the home textiles or the decoration.

What should you look for in used decor?

On glass, at chips on rim and foot, on ceramics at hairline cracks you can feel with a fingernail, on silver at hallmarks that prove origin and fineness. On textiles, at moths and sun fading. We name traces of use openly on every piece and photograph real damage, so you see exactly what you get before you buy.

How do you combine vintage accessories?

A few good pieces beat many mediocre ones: a Murano bowl on an empty table, a kilim under the sofa, three glasses of the same series on the shelf. Keep colours in one family and give every object air. Eras may mix, that is the charm.

Why decor from second hand?

Because glass, ceramics and silver have been in use for decades and the series of the 1960s to 1980s are long out of production. You pay little for much character and keep things in circulation. Small objects reach you as a parcel.
