Questions About Piece Of Eight
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024What size table fits eight people depends on the shape of the furniture. With rectangular and oval shapes, a 92-inch to 108-inch table can typically accommodate eight people comfortably. If you're shopping for a round table, look for pieces that are at least 72 inches in diameter to seat eight adults. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of dining tables.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024The size of a round table that can fit eight chairs is around 60 inches. That measurement corresponds to the diameter, meaning the distance across the top of the table through its center. To ensure comfort, choose a dining table that is 10 to 12 inches taller than the seat height of your dining chairs. Shop a wide range of round dining tables on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are a few marks to look for to help identify your pottery. A mark indicating the studio, the potter or the artist may be found on the bottom unglazed portion of your piece. Shop a range of antique and vintage pottery pieces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To frame needlepoint, you need to secure it to a mat and then place it under glass within a frame. Because old needlepoint is often fragile, consider visiting a frame shop to have a professional perform the work. Not only can this help to reduce the risk of damage, but it will also allow you to benefit from expert advice regarding what mat and frame will best complement the item. On 1stDibs, find a collection of vintage and antique needlepoint.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A statement piece of furniture stands out on its own in the room. It will be the focus of your design — it’s attractive and eye-catching for one reason or another. Sofas, center tables, cabinets, cupboards, decorative objects, chairs and beds are all examples of statement furniture.
- La ChrysomeleFebruary 23, 2021A definition of abstract art is art through which the artist doesn't attempt a visual depiction of the world. The artist may have other intentions : conveying a pure emotion, or achieving what (s)he perceives as visual perfection, etc. There are many kinds of abstract art : lyrical abstraction, geometrical abstraction, action painting… There is also an infinite spectrum between hyperrealism and pure abstraction, since one can argue that any brush stroke is by itself an abstraction of the reality — let alone flat color patches.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024Picasso's most famous piece is arguably Guernica, which he created in 1937. A black-and-white oil painting, it captures the horrors of war with its depiction of the German bombing of Guernica, Spain. Another of his well-known works is Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. When it was produced in 1907, the painting was considered immoral and shocking for how it showed nude women whose faces resembled Iberian tribal masks. Other notable works by Picasso include The Old Guitarist, Le Rêve, The Weeping Woman and Girl Before a Mirror. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Pablo Picasso art.
- Is a clock a piece of furniture?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024Whether a clock is a piece of furniture depends on its type. Freestanding clocks, like grandfather clocks, arguably fall under the category of furniture. On the other hand, wall clocks are usually thought of as wall decor, while table clocks may be called table decor or decorative objects. Shop a wide range of clocks on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023To identify Murano glass, look for a label. You may find it on the bottom or the back of a piece. The label will usually specify the name of the glassworks that produced it. Consult trusted online resources to determine if a given artisan or workshop is known for making Murano glass. Authentic Murano glass is universally known for its quality, so look for pieces that feature smooth, even surfaces and bold, vibrant colors. The Vetro Artistico Murano trademark is an official trademark of the Venetian Glassmakers Association and may be of use in determining if your Murano glass is authentic, but buyers should keep in mind that the market is flooded with imitations of this glass. Experts recommend working with a certified appraiser to get assistance with identifying specific pieces. Find a range of Murano glassware on 1stDibs.
- Are all Steuben pieces signed?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, all authentic Steuben glass pieces are signed in diamond script, typically on the bottom of the base. The signature is one of the easiest ways to verify the legitimacy of a Stueben glass piece. Shop a selection of authentic Stueben glass pieces on 1stDibs.
- Are all Limoges pieces marked?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, not all Limoges pieces are marked. While most Limoges include the factory's production and decorating marks, some pieces will have no mark. That’s why it is important to purchase from a vetted seller or vendor to ensure authenticity. 1stDibs partners with only top-vetted sellers to offer authentic pieces that come with a buyer protection guarantee.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024Opinions on what is Hundertwasser's most famous piece vary. Some point to the Hundertwasserhaus, an apartment home in Vienna, Austria, that Friedensreich Hundertwasser designed. One of his best-known paintings is The Beard Is the Grass of the Bald-Headed Man, which he created in 1961. Many people also remember him for creating the Koru flag, a proposed but never adopted secondary flag for New Zealand. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Friedensreich Hundertwasser art.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024An MCM piece of furniture was produced during the mid-20th century and reflects the characteristics of mid-century modern style. Organically shaped, clean-lined and elegantly simple are three terms that describe many examples of vintage mid-century modern furniture. Furniture created by designers working in this style often featured materials like teak, rosewood, oak, steel, fiberglass and molded plywood. Shop a large selection of vintage mid-century modern furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023A humidor piece of furniture is a cabinet designed to store cigars. The purpose of the humidor is to keep cigars at ideal humidity levels to preserve freshness until they're ready to be enjoyed. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of humidors.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024Opinions vary on what is Banksy's most famous piece. Girl with Balloon is considered one of his best-known works. In 2001, the anonymous artist created the street art mural as part of a series of works located around London. In 2018, Banksy sold a painting of the work at an auction for $1.4 million. Shortly after the completion of the sale, the painting self-destructed and proceeded to partially shred itself. The stunt made headlines, adding to the fame of the work. Other famous Banksy pieces include Pulp Fiction, Di-Faced Tenner, Laugh Now, Love Is in the Air, Queen Vic, Devolved Parliament and Kissing Coppers. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Bansky art.
- What is a James Turrell piece?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A James Turrell piece is an artwork created by the American installation artist James Turrell. His most famous pieces involve reflecting light in certain ways to produce geometric shapes and other effects. Find a selection of James Turrell art on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021An original piece of art is a work that is considered to be an authentic example of an artist’s output, versus a reproduction. An original piece may refer to a sculpture, painting, a performance work or any other work in a range of other media. On 1stDibs, shop a range of antique and vintage original pieces of art.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023A butler, with respect to furniture, is a desk. Its roots are in the 18th century, when a butler's desk referred to a piece of furniture that belonged to a head servant or butler in a wealthy home. It eventually became a practical piece of furniture in England and in homes in the United States. Shop a variety of butlers from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023To authenticate a Joan Miró piece, look for the artist's signature. Joan Miró hand-signed many of his works in a heavy script. Typically, he added only his last name and placed a period after the ó. Keep in mind that there are many reproductions of his works in circulation. As a result, the best way to authenticate the artist's work is to take your piece to a certified appraiser who can conduct research and thoroughly inspect the work to determine whether it is a genuine Miró. Shop a variety of Joan Miró from some of the world’s top galleries on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024To find out what a piece of art is worth, experts generally recommend consulting a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer. Many factors, including age, artist and condition, contribute to the value of a work. Consequently, it can be very difficult for someone without expertise to estimate the value of a particular piece on their own. However, you can get a rough idea of the potential value by looking at sales records and auction results available on trusted online platforms. Shop a diverse assortment of art on 1stDibs.
