- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A binnacle is the housing space for a ship’s compass. It’s designed to counter the magnetic deviation that might be caused by the fact that a ship is made of iron. To be effective, binnacles needed to be made of non-ferrous materials, meaning they could not contain any iron. Find a collection of vintage and modern binnacles on 1stDibs.
- Is brass used in weapons?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022In some cases, yes. Brass is a metal that was used for gun bullets. However, the metal is malleable and at the time of its discovery, weapons were already being made of stronger iron and steel. You can find a selection of brass weaponry from some of the world’s top enthusiasts on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Brass andirons are not only beautiful to look at, but they keep logs from rolling out of the fireplace. They serve as a gate to keep the logs in place.
- How do you use a brass oil lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023How you use a brass oil lamp may vary based on the design of the piece. However, generally, you fill the lamp with vegetable, sesame or similar plant-based oil. Use tweezers to raise and lower the wick and trim away burned ends with scissors. Then, use a match to light the lamp. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of oil lamps.
