Questions About Lighting For Reading
- What is a reading stand?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021A reading stand is a stand to position the book or any reading material in an orthopedically upright position for reading. It’s meant for comfortable reading. The stopper at the end holds the reading material in a way that it doesn’t slip off. It helps ensure that you maintain a good posture while you are reading. Find a collection of antique and vintage reading stands on 1stDibs today.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To read an armillary sphere, first familiarize yourself with the parts. The ring along the base is the horizon. On the armillary, the outermost ring is the meridian, while the largest inner ring is the ecliptic ring. Locate the date on the ecliptic ring and place a marker that represents the sun on it. Turn the sphere to trace the path the sun will take on that day. Use the markings on the horizon to find the ascension of the sunrise, and the ecliptic ring to find out the elevation of the sun at noon. Find a collection of armillary spheres on 1stDibs.
- How do I read a Balenciaga tag?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Balenciaga metal tags for items after 2003 use an alphanumeric code. The first line of numbers will be followed by a letter that will tell you the season and year of the bag. The brand started at Z with its Spring/Summer collection in 2005, the next season was its Fall/Winter collection, and that letter was Y and so on. For some reason, it skipped the letter X, but the rest fall predictably in place. Shop a collection of authentic Balenciaga purses from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021The best chair for reading is ultimately a matter of preference. You’ll want to think about a comfortable chair that will be suitable to sit in for a long period — think about form, upholstery, whether the chair will support your back and neck properly and more. Keep your space constrictions in mind as well as your budget. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique, new and vintage chairs.
- What is a good reading lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021A good reading lamp is a matter of personal choice. In general, halogen and fluorescent bulb lamps are better for reading than standard incandescent bulb lamps. Shop a range of antique and vintage reading lamps on 1stDibs.
- What is a reading desk called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Reading desks are sometimes called lecterns because they are tall enough for a person to use while standing and they have a slanted top.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023To read your Omega reference number, first check the leading three digits to find the collection. Then, move on to the next two to learn what the housing and band materials are. Move on to the third set of digits, which represent the diameter and height of the housing. The next set of numbers tells you the type of movement featured in the watch. In the last two sets of digits, you'll find the dial color followed by the production sequence number. Shop a large selection of Omega watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023How you read a hanging weight scale depends on the design. Analog hanging scales will usually have either a round or vertical bar dial marked with ounce and pound or milligram and gram markings. Look to where the needle points to determine the weight. Newer digital scales will usually show the weight in ounces or grams on a display. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of hanging scales.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021Floor lamps have seen an evolution from the time they were invented, as torches that originated in France. Depending on the space in your home, there are great options for floor lamps for reading that range from mid-century versions to distinctly functional Grasshopper floor lamps and multiple other versions created by well-known designers from around the world.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To read a Chanel clothing label, look beneath the Chanel logo tag. There you will see another label with the style number, size and year it was created. If the style number starts with an A, it was from an Autumn collection. P stands for Printemps, which is spring, and C means that item is part of the cruise line. Shop a collection of expertly vetted vintage and new Chanel garments from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- How do I read a Dior date stamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The last four digits on a Dior date stamp indicate the month and year. The first and third digits represent the months, while the second and fourth digits represent the year. For example, if your date code ends with 1109, then that would mean the time of manufacture was October 2019. This is the same code system used by Louis Vuitton.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021The best reading floor lamp is a matter of preference. Your lamp should be at eye level with an adjustable head and neck. It should also be a good fit with respect to the shape of the living room, the décor and furniture style. On 1stDibs, shop a range of antique and vintage floor lamps.
- What makes a good reading chair?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021A good reading chair will have a high, firm back to provide enough support to the neck and back. It should also have comfortable armrests so that one’s arms are relaxed and it is easy to prop a book. A plush upholstered cushion for the seat will make the reading experience even better. Find a collection of antique and vintage reading chairs on 1stDibs today.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024How you read silver plate hallmarks depends on the origin of the piece. Makers in different countries utilize varying systems for hallmarking their silver plate pieces, and these systems have evolved over time. For example, some British makers indicated the highest quality of silver plate with an A1 hallmark and the second highest with an A. Since there is so much variation, the best way to interpret hallmarks on a particular piece is to consult trusted online resources, a certified appraiser or a knowledgeable antiques dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a range of silver plate pieces.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To read the size on a Hermès belt, consult the brand's official size chart found on the Hermès website. Centimeters serve as the basis of Hermès belt sizing. The size chart will help you find the corresponding waist measurement in inches. Find a selection of Hermès belts on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Modern Bottega Veneta serial number tags contain a model number, leather code, color code, and year of manufacture from left to right, top to bottom. Older items have one string of numbers, but the exact way to decode these is something of a trade secret. Shop a collection of vintage and contemporary Bottega Veneta pieces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To read Alexander McQueen tags, move from top to bottom. The numbers at the top usually represent the UPC code and in-house tracking numbers of the brand. Below that, you can find the style number and name. When authenticating items, make sure that the information matches across all paper and sewn-on tags. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of expertly vetted Alexander McQueen.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To read Lane Furniture serial numbers, look from right to left. The first two numbers represent the month, and the second two tell you the day. Examine the last two numbers to find out the year of production. For example, a serial number that reads 189280 indicates a piece made on August 29, 1981. Shop a selection of expertly vetted Lane furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 7, 2024To read a Louis Vuitton date code, look at the first two letters that represent the location of where it was made. These letters are followed by four numbers, the first and third of which tell which week of the year that the product was made, and the second and fourth tell which year it was made. You’ll find a wide variety of authentic Louis Vuitton products from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To read the moon dial on a grandfather clock, use the numbers and markings that appear along the outer edge. For example, if "20" is in the 12 o'clock position, the lunar cycle is currently on its 20th day. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of grandfather clocks.
