- How does a Rolex work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Most Rolex watches work thanks to a perpetual rotor found inside.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024How Julian Opie does his work is through trial and error. The British artist’s process is one of experimentation. Often, he begins by taking a photograph and then uploading it to a computer, which he then uses to add symbols, signs, shadows and outlines. Then, he adds color and collage to the works, layering elements on top of one another. As he sees what works and what does not, Opie removes, rearranges and edits these layers until he achieves the final result he envisioned. Explore an assortment of Julian Opie art on 1stDibs.
- How does a platform rocker work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022How a platform rocker works involves its specially designed base. The craftsman rests the rockers on this fixed platform so that they tilt forward and backward on it rather than the floor. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of antique and vintage platform rockers.

- How does a secretary desk work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A secretary desk works with the help of hinges that secure the writing surface to the rest of the piece. To use one, you simply pull down on the wooden door to open the hinge and lower the writing surface. Return the desk to its closed position by lifting the writing surface up. You'll find a selection of secretary desks on 1stDibs.
- How does a wall barometer work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021The Barometer is a scientific instrument used to measure air pressure in a certain environment. The barometer has a flattened metal cylinder that looks like a silver disc inside its construction, which is filled with a partial vacuum. As the pressure in the air increases, the disc gets crushed and as air pressure decreases the disc expands. This movement of the disc is transformed into the reading of the black barometer needle under the glass.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021A "body of work" in photography is defined by the consistency of theme and vision. It's all about deciding what kind of work to use to reflect a style and a vision. And it’s a way of presenting your work that distinguishes your style — photographers think about their body of work as communicating a specific manner in which to see and represent things. Find a collection of vintage prints, paintings and photography on 1stDibs today.
- How does a gas lamp work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021Gas lamps work by burning fuel like kerosene, propane or white gas to produce heat.

Find antique gas lamps and vintage lanterns on 1stDibs.

Find a collection of antique and vintage wind-up toys on 1stDibs.
- How does a flip clock work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021The flip clock works on the split-flap mechanism wherein the pages or tiles are attached to a wheel.

- How does an Argand lamp work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021An Argand lamp is a type of oil lamp that was invented back in 1780.

- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021An extendable table is a great way to make use of or save space, as you wish.

- How does an Astral lamp work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022How an Astral lamp works depends on its design. Early models held lamp oil and glowed when you lit an internal wick.
