  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    A black and white drawing is frequently called exactly that — a black and white drawing. A drawing or painting that is referred to as monochrome or monochromatic means that it has been created using only one color (this means that a black and white drawing may be referred to as monochromatic). Shop a collection of antique, vintage and contemporary black and white drawings from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    White, or colorless, diamonds are generally the most valuable diamond variety. Black diamonds are certainly more rare than white ones, but the latter is generally more expensive.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    The best frame for a black and white photo is really a matter of preference. Some may suggest choosing a frame color that matches a shade in an image while others suggest a bolder colored frame for a dramatic effect. Shop frames on 1stDibs.
