Anthropologie is culturally precious for cultivating deep and individual relationships with their consumers through current items and styles. This year, the business turned it up a notch by collaborating with The Metropolitan Museum of Art to launch their MET x Anthropologie collection– a selection of candles, dishware, and bar accessories influenced by styles from the Gilded Age. Each item is crafted with an elaborate design that includes gold accents, bringing stylish decorative touches to your home ahead of the holiday.

The MET x Anthropologie holiday collection is suggested to evoke a sense of historical fond memories, according to Josh Romm, head of international licensing and collaborations at the Met. “Our collaboration with Anthropologie transports customers to one of the most luxurious periods in American style through an inspiring offering of tableware and home accents,” he discusses in a current press release. “We anticipate seeing how this collection will motivate discussions about art, design, and imagination during the holiday and beyond.” Read on for a few of our preferred standout pieces from the collection.
Various Stoneware Dessert Plates
Art nouveau style patterns were highly coveted during the Gilded Age, and the MET x Anthropologie Collection is here to restore the decorative art. These stoneware dessert plates are decorated with golden glazed designs that are available in an even set of 4, so you can host intimate dinner parties in design.

Spice Evergreen & Embers Ceramic Candle

You may think the perfect holiday-scented candle light doesn’t exist, however this aromatic ceramic candle light will show you wrong (and instill your home with a warm, camphoraceous smell). This smokey and pine-scented candle light is packaged in a navy blue ceramic jar with a 35-hour burn time. Enter the Gilded Age with this coconut wax blend.
Cut-Glass Decanter
It isn’t the holiday without the best decanter to let that bottle of red breathe. The collection’s hand blown decanter is a special– and historically accurate– method to serve white wine and other liquors to your visitors. Plus, the cut-glass design will carry you back in time to the 19th century.
