  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021
    A working table is, simply put, a table where you can work. It is equipped with drawers and holders to hold implements and materials. It can range from a simple flat surface to complex designs. On 1stDibs, you can find the perfect table for your work purposes.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A samovar is a large metal urn that is used to heat and boil water, typically for tea. Traditional samovars have a vertical tube in the center that heats up the water using charcoal, kerosene or electricity. A valve at the base of the device dispenses the water.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    If properly cared for, yes, humidors do indeed work. You must remember to have the humidity set correctly. If the climate in the humidor is too moist, your cigar will get moldy, and if it’s too dry, your cigar will crack. On 1stDibs, you can find authentic humidors from some of the top sellers around the world.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    Most Rolex watches work thanks to a perpetual rotor found inside. Every time you move your wrist, this rotor glides back and forth, creating kinetic energy. That energy moves into the mainspring of the watch to power the timepiece, eliminating the need for winding as long as the watch is being worn. You’ll find a large selection of Rolex on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    How a ship's telegraph works involves two components: one in the bridge and one in the engine room. The captain turns the dial to a desired command on the bridge side. This causes a bell to ring in the engine room and the dial to move to the corresponding position to share the captain's orders. On 1stDibs, shop a range of ship's telegraphs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021
    An Anglepoise lamp works on springs that are integrated in the joints, helping it to balance and hold its shape. These balanced-arm lamps are known to be energy-saving and among the first to use 25-watt bulbs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Humidor boxes maintain humidity and temperature while storing cigars, cigarettes, cannabis or pipe tobacco. Most will be made from cedar, which can both absorb and release moisture to create an even humidity and keep tobacco products from drying out. Find a wide range of antique and modern humidors on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    A soda siphon works by increasing the pressure level within the bottle through a pump. When gas bubbling is heard within the bottle, you can shake it and leave it to rest, before releasing the trigger to release the seltzer.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021
    Carriage clocks are spring-driven clocks; the spring has to be rewound every eight days for accuracy. The distinguishing feature of a carriage clock is platform escapement. It uses balance and spring for timekeeping.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    A banjo barometer works because of a small capsule or box made of beryllium and copper called an aneroid. In most designs, the aneroid box or capsule was on the back. Fluctuations in air pressure would cause the shape of the box or capsule to change, and this, in turn, moved the needle on the barometer dial. Shop a range of banjo barometers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A longcase clock works with the help of a pendulum, which is usually hidden away in the body of the clock. As the pendulum swings, it creates kinetic energy that then turns the gears to move the hands on the face. You'll find a variety of longcase clocks on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021
    Folding doors are also known as bi-fold doors and are constructed with two or more panels that a user can fold or unfold to open or close. These doors are fitted into runners on which they slide and fold when opened or closed. They look like the musical instrument concertina and are also sometimes called by this name in an informal setting.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A rolling ball clock works with an electric motor. Every five or 10 minutes, the top rail will deposit a ball onto the next rail to indicate what minute it is in multiples of five or 10. Every hour, the upper and middle rails reset and one ball is transferred to the bottom rail to indicate the hour. Shop a collection of vintage ball clocks on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The Congreve clock is a stroke of genius. A brass ball zig-zags down a platform in a time span of 15 seconds. Once the ball reaches the end, it hits a lever and a spring pushes the platform up, which tilts the brass ball back down the zig-zag path. The hands of the clock also advance by 15 seconds. You can shop a selection of Congreve clocks on 1stDibs.

    You have to manually wind the crown to generate power for the watch every 2 days.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023
    A typewriter desk works due to its unique design. Although pieces vary, most have a special storage area that sits at a comfortable level for typing.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Antique compasses work with the use of magnets. Compasses use a magnetized needle that can rotate to line up with the Earth’s magnetic field, pointing towards the magnetic north. The basic concept of how compasses work has not changed over several centuries and magnetic compasses continue to work well today. Shop a variety of antique compasses on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Door knockers work because of their hinged design. After you mount the back plate onto a door, the striker portion hangs from the frame on the hinge, allowing you to raise it up and strike it against the backing. On 1stDibs, find a range of antique and vintage door knockers.
