How to Incorporate Antique Wall Décor Into Your Home

Antique wall décor adds a particular sophistication and class to a home’s interior design.  With over 80 trips to the Far East, we hand-picked each item and have had the pleasure of sharing their story with our clients for almost 60 years! 

Still, you may not know what to do with antique wall art decor or which parts of the home will complement pieces best.

Here's a brief breakdown of the different kinds of wall décor we carry at FEA Home, along with a few antique wall décor ideas for your space.

Panels and doors

 

In our New York showroom and website, we feature lacquered and carved panels and doors such as a 19th-century hand-carved Chinese Rosewood Plaque as well as antique Indian Wood Shrine Panels found in our travels to India in the 1970s and 1980s.

 Recent new arrivals include a 19th-century Indian Wood and Grate Window and a pair of Chinese Qing Dynasty Iron Palace Doors.

 

Ideas and tips for displaying our antique panels and doors:

  • Showcase antique doors on open walls in hallways
  • Repurpose panels and doors as bedroom decor such as sliding closet doors or room dividers.
  • Use as a unique headboard or frame for a mirror

Carvings

 

The carvings in our collection have been curated from our love of Far East culture like 19th-century Chinese  panels and Javanese carvings found from shopping trips and expeditions around the world. 

 

Ideas and tips for displaying our antique carvings:

  • Use the carvings as an accent piece in a living room or den
  • Display the carvings along with other small antique sculptures
  • Hang up the carvings as a stunning piece of art on the wall
  • The perfect accent piece to hang above a door

Framed art, prints, paintings, and mirrors

 

FEA Home also offers beautiful framed art, prints, paintings, and mirrors to hang on your walls. These beautiful antique and vintage works of art are perfect for any room that needs their walls decorated. 

Our antique prints and paintings are more compact and can fit perfect in more tight confined spaces. Meanwhile, our antique mirror tend to be more stately and grand, often requiring more space for a dramatic placement.

 

Ideas and tips for displaying our antique framed art, prints, paintings, and mirrors:

  • Position a mirror as the perfect accent piece in an empty corner. 
  • Refrain from altering the frame or glass for genuine rustic appeal. 
  • Combine pieces from the same time period for symmetry.
