Questions About Call Of The Wild
- Why is it called Bulgari?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024Why it is called Bulgari relates to founder Sotirios Voulgaris's source of inspiration: Rome. The Greek silversmith arrived in the Italian capital in 1881 and set up his shop there in 1884, calling it Bulgari, an Italianization of his last name. In the brand's logo it's styled BVLGARI, using the classical Latin alphabet in a nod to ancient Roman culture. Since then, Bulgari has looked to Rome as a source of reference for its fanciful and decidedly romantic necklaces, bracelets, earrings and other accessories. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Bulgari jewelry and watches.
- Why is it called a sconce?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024A light that hangs on a wall is called a sconce due to its linguistic history. The term originated from the Old French term esconce, which means "lantern" or "hiding place." In turn, the word sconce has its roots in the Latin root word for "to hide," abscondere. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of sconces.
- 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.
- 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 couture?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024Why it's called couture is owed to the origin of the word. In French, couture means "dressmaking" or "sewing." The term fits couture fashion because it refers to pieces that are designed and tailored to order. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of apparel from some of the world's top boutiques.
- Why is it called an armoire?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024Why it is called an armoire likely relates to the original purpose of the furniture. When armoires first emerged during the Middle Ages, people often stored armor and weapons in them. In Latin, the name for an armor storage chest is "armonium," so the term armoire may have come from that. Although people now use armoires to store clothing, home theater systems and other items rather than suits of armor, the name persists. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of armoires.
- Why are they called Fauves?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024Artists Henri Matisse, André Derain, Albert Marquet, Maurice de Vlaminck, Kees van Dongen and others were called Fauves because of the words of an art critic. After viewing a Fauvist exhibition at the Salon d'Automne in Paris, France, in 1905, critic Louis Vauxcelles wrote a scathing review of the colorful, bold paintings he saw. In it, he called the artists “fauves,” which is French for wild beasts. Although he meant it as an insult, the artists embraced the term, seeing it as a sign that their rejection of the conventions of painting was having the intended effect on viewers. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Fauvist art.
- 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 Fauvism?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024The story of why it is called Fauvism traces back to an art critic who reacted negatively when he first viewed examples of Fauvist art. After touring the Salon d'Automne in Paris, France, in 1905, critic Louis Vauxcelles said that the colorful work of Henri Matisse, André Derain, Albert Marquet and the other Fauvists looked as if it had been made by "fauves," or "wild beasts" in English. The Fauvists embraced the term as descriptive of their boldly colored, dramatically avant-garde art. Shop an assortment of Fauvist art 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 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 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.
- Why is it called Balenciaga?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024Why it is called Balenciaga is because the luxury fashion house shares its founder's name. However, the original name that Cristóbal Balenciaga chose for his label was Eisa, which was his mother's name. When the Spanish Civil War put a hold on his prospects in Spain, the designer moved to Paris, opening a house on Avenue Georges V in 1937 under the name Balenciaga. From there, the brand evolved to transform the landscape of women’s fashion with shapes and contours during the middle of the 20th century that were nothing less than groundbreaking. Today, Balenciaga is as venturesome as ever and is well known for its shoes, handbags, sneakers, streetwear and other clothing and accessories.
