Antique ceramic shelves are fascinating objects that combine functionality with the aesthetics of the past. They represent a piece of the history of furniture and craftsmanship, and can add a touch of elegance and authenticity to any environment.

They were often made of majolica or porcelain, materials that contain detailed decorations and vivid colors. Craft techniques such as hand painting, carving, and glazing give uniqueness to each piece.

From Baroque to Art Nouveau, passing through Neoclassical, antique shelves reflect the artistic styles of different eras. Floral motifs, landscapes, mythological figures, and scenes of daily life are common in the decorations.

Important production centers include Italy (Castelli, Faenza, Naples), France (Limoges), Germany (Meissen), and Spain (Valencia).
