- Who was Mr. Charles Worth?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024Mr. Charles Worth was a British fashion designer.

- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 19, 2025Charles Mackintosh was famous for his work as a designer and architect. At the turn of the 20th century, he created a singular, wholly original design style that was both lyrical and sleekly modern. Within his architectural schemes for schools, private homes and restaurants, he — frequently working in collaboration with his wife, the artist Margaret Macdonald — invented an aesthetic that blended the organic flow of Art Nouveau and the honest simplicity of the English Arts & Crafts movement. Shop a collection of Charles Rennie Mackintosh furniture on 1stDibs.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024Yes, Charles Eames chairs are comfortable. The Eameses — Charles and Ray — were fascinated by ergonomics and designed chairs with comfort in mind. The legendary mid-century modernist designer-couple famously called their Eames lounge chair and ottoman “a special refuge from the strains of modern living” and described their design as having the “warm receptive look of a well-used first baseman’s mitt.”
While the couple’s DCW chairs, introduced in the 1940s, prioritized ease of production and affordability of materials, the Eames lounger, which debuted in 1956, was Charles and Ray’s interpretation of luxury furniture. And to the Eameses, luxury meant, above all, comfort.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 7, 2024The story of what happened to Charles Jourdan shoes is one of struggling finances.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024No, Charles Rennie Mackintosh is generally not considered Art Deco. His early work is usually categorized as Art Nouveau and provided a source of inspiration for Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser and other members of the Vienna Secession movement, which is closely related to the Art Nouveau movement.

You can shop a collection of Eames furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between modern furniture and old furniture is in the specificity of the term. Generally, pieces considered modern date from between the end of World War II in 1945 and the end of the 1970s. During this period, more furniture makers mass produced pieces, and designers increasingly used new materials, such as plywood and plastic. Old furniture is not a specific term. People frequently use the term old for anything that subjectively appears aged. Explore a large selection of modern furniture on 1stDibs.
- Is an easel furniture?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether or not an easel is considered furniture is largely a matter of personal opinion. Generally, the word “furniture” describes items that make a space suitable for working or living. An easel that holds an artwork for production or display purposes likely fits this definition. Find a selection of easels on 1stDibs.
- How do I identify my furniture?2 Answers1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021An easy way to identify your furniture is to look at the manufacturing label, stamp, or tag which shows the name of the creator. There might also be a signature from the furniture maker instead.1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021You can easily identify your furniture by looking over them in areas such as the underside or backside.
