Luxe retro finds can be expensive! But if you’re willing to shop for look-a-likes, you can save a pretty penny. Today we introduce a new series called High/Low. It’s a guessing game of sorts…each High/Low post will pose a question, and today’s question is this: 1stdibs or Z Gallerie? That’s right, we’re asking you to guess which is the high-end retro 1stdibs find and which is the more affordable new, retro-style Z Gallerie item. Check out the photos below and then scroll down to the bottom of the post for the answers. They just might surprise you!

I love ZGallerie. They always have such cool stuff that goes with my stuff. I’ve been getting their catalogs ever since I bought a vase from them that you mentioned in a previous post.
