- Why is it called a hutch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023Why a hutch is called that is due to the history of the English language. In Old English, the word for a box or chest is hwiċe or hwiċċe. Eventually, over time, the word became hutch, which refers to a type of case good that features a set of shelves or cabinets placed on top of a lower structure that is outfitted with drawers or additional cabinets. Hutches are most often found in dining rooms or kitchens. Shop a collection of hutches on 1stDibs.
- Why is it called a nightstand?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 16, 2019
The origin of the word nightstand is the result of its function. Nightstands are placed near the bed to hold things and typically used at night.
- Why is it called a Tantalus?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The name ‘Tantalus’ is a reference to the character in Greek mythology. A tantalus in furniture is a small wooden cabinet, with two or three decanters and complete with a lock and a key. Shop a collection of Tantalus pieces from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Why is it called a Huntboard?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A huntboard is a compact table at a height that it would be comfortable to eat around while standing. The term ‘huntboard’ came into use in the early 1900s, as this piece of furniture, previously called a slab table, was rebranded in a Romantic light. Legends were told that it was used to serve refreshments to fox hunters. Shop a collection of vintage huntboards from top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Why is it called Medieval?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The word “medieval” comes from the Latin phrase medium aevum, which means “middle age.” The Middle Ages refer to the era in Europe that lasted from the fifth century to the Renaissance.
- Why is it called a Papasan?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The bowl-shaped papasan chair originated in South East Asia, but it is believed that Americans who first became familiar with the chair during the world wars dubbed it a papasan. The word papasan is a Japanese term that means honouring the father. There is no explanation why this particular word was attached to this bowl-shaped wicker chair. Shop a collection of wicker furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Why is it called a paperweight?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023A paperweight is called by that name because its original purpose was to hold down papers on desktops so that they did not slip off or become disorganized. Today, some people use paperweights as decorative objects rather than to weigh down papers. Shop an assortment of paperweights on 1stDibs.
- Why is it called a watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024The portable timepiece worn on the wrist is called a watch due to its original purpose. Although they have become status symbols and fashion accessories, it is believed that early watches were the first tools used by town watchmen, who used them to track the start and end times of their shifts. Find a large collection of antique, vintage and contemporary watches on 1stDibs.
- Why is it called a credenza?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024Why it is called a credenza relates to historic lore about the furniture. In Italian, credenza is a word for “trust” or “belief.” During the 16th century, food and drink was often tested by a servant for a prominent person to see if it contained poison. The sideboard where this tasting took place came to be called a credenza. From there, a cabinet used to hold drinkware, plates and other items became known by the term as well. Although credenzas are now general storage furniture used in homes and offices, the original name remains. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of credenzas.
- What are nightstands called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A nightstand can also be called a bedside table or a daystand. It is a small table used for storing personal items beside the bed, and is characterized by either shelves or drawers or both. Shop a collection of nightstands from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Why is it called a lavalier?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The lavalier necklace is believed to be named after Duchess Louise de La Vallière who was the mistress of the King of France, Louis XIV, in the 1600s. This elegant pendant-like necklace much later inspired the name of a microphone that clips at the neckline. Shop a range of lavalier jewelry from top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- Why is it called Impressionism?2 Answers1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
The term Impressionism comes from the title of Claude Monet’s painting Impression, Sunrise, from which an art critic derived what he considered an insulting name for the entire movement.
1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021It is called Impressionism because this type of art aims to capture a reflection, or impressionism of real life. Impressionism depicts a visual impression of a moment, paying particular attention to the shifting effect of light and color. - Why is it called a chair?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024Why the furniture used for seating is called a chair has to do with the history of language. The word comes from the 13th-century English word chaer, which in turn can be traced back to the Latin word cathedra, meaning seat. If that word reminds you of the word cathedral, it's no accident. The word cathedral gets its name from the fact that a cathedral is where the bishop of a parish has his seat. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of chairs.
- What do Americans call a sofa?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024What Americans call a sofa varies. Often, people living in the U.S. refer to an upholstered furnishing designed to hold more than one person as a couch. However, the word sofa is also commonly used in the U.S. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of antique, vintage and contemporary sofas.
- What is a man’s dresser called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 1, 2024A man's dresser is just called a dresser. There is typically no difference in design between dressers used by women and men. The term dresser refers to a type of storage furniture. It's typically used to connote a chest of drawers that is used primarily to store clothing.
Hundreds of years ago, the term gentleman's dresser was used to describe a piece of storage furniture that is characterized by specific attributes. It features a tall cabinet area ideally sized for hanging trousers, suits and ties, and smaller drawers for organizing items like socks, undergarments and handkerchiefs.
Most tall dressers offer anywhere from five to seven drawers, essentially allowing for the organization of an entire wardrobe, while shorter, waist-height dresser varieties can be equipped with a convenient vanity mirror. When shopping for your antique or vintage dresser, consider those that bear the hallmarks of solid construction.
