- What are KAWS figures?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A KAWS figure is a toy or figurine comparable to an action figure, created by the American artist, Brian Donnelly, who is known professionally as KAWS. Called ‘companions’, the figures are in KAWS’ signature style, and monster-size versions have been seen everywhere from Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbor to Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. Shop a selection of KAWS pieces from some of the world’s top art dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021The difference between black-figure and red-figure Greek pottery is that in black-figure pottery, figural and ornamental motifs were applied with a slip that turned black during firing and the background was color of the clay, whereas the decorative motifs on red-figure vases remained the color of the clay; the background, filled in with a slip, turned black. Red-figure is essentially the reverse of a black figure. On 1stDibs, shop vintage and antique Greek pottery.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021You can figure out your ring size by taking a piece of string and wrapping it around the base of your finger. After marking the circumference with a pen, lay the string flat and measure it using a ruler. Next, write down the measurement in millimeters and compare it to a ring size chart.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024To identify porcelain figures, search for any maker's marks, which are usually painted, stamped or incised into their bases. Snapping a photograph of the marking and then performing a reverse image search may lead to a quick identification. Otherwise, use trusted online resources to look up the marking and determine the maker. Then, you can review reference guides to learn the name, age and other characteristics of your figurine. Another option is to have a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer help you. Shop a wide range of porcelain figurines on 1stDibs.
- What is a lay figure in art?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023In art, a lay figure is a doll-like model that artists can pose in different ways. The lay figure can be used for sketching or as a stand-in for the living subject of a portrait. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of portrait art from some of the world's top galleries.
- When did figurative art start?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
Figurative art dates at least as far back as the cave paintings. The oldest known figurative painting, made nearly 40,000 years ago, was found in Borneo.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024To tell if a KAWS figure is real, first assess its overall quality. From the Companion to the Chum, all authentic KAWS figures will feel solid and dense. If it’s hollow, it’s likely not a KAWS.
Be skeptical of any product marked “factory error.” KAWS spends a great deal of time perfecting every limited-edition design and would never release a less-than-flawless creation. Smudged, deformed or misaligned details are highly unlikely on an authentic KAWS; it’s more probable that “factory error” and “sample” are simply more appealing terms for “unauthorized copy.” Of course, if a figure is preowned and unboxed, a few dings and scratches may appear.
Next, examine the details. An authentic box for a figure will have a hologram label that changes color as you move it. Is the box’s size correct? The color? How about the font size and spacing everywhere on the packaging? Does it have the correct design on the front? Inspect even the smallest detail — it may be the one that a lazy counterfeiter overlooked.
As for the figure itself, again, every element counts. Is the color right? Many fakes get the nuances wrong, so be sure to compare the color of your figure to those shown in images of authentic pictures. How about the finish? Check if your particular figure should be matte or shiny. Are there discrepancies in the X of the eyes or the placement of design features? For example, a four-foot KAWS Dissected Companion should have 10 dots for the ribs. Many fakes only have nine.
When in doubt about the authenticity of a piece, seek the help of a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert.
On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of KAWS figures. - 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022What Keith Haring's figures mean depends on the lines near them. Curves show that a figure is in motion, while short straight lines represent sound. The figures themselves are usually meant to signify various roles in society. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Keith Haring art.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Carved African wood figurines were typically spiritual in nature and were primarily in human form. The wood figurines were carved using ebony, teak, mahogany and iron wood. On 1stDibs, find a collection of authentic African wood figurines from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023The main difference between a table lamp and an accent lamp is its size. Generally, table lamps are larger pieces that people use for task lighting or to increase ambiance lighting in a room. Accent lamps tend to be smaller and provide supplemental light in spaces. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of lamps from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023The difference between a table lamp and a buffet lamp is the size. Although the two types of lamps come in similar heights, buffet lamps are usually narrower, so they take up less space on a buffet server filled with food. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of lamps from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024To identify a Laurel Lamp table lamp, first check the bottom of the base and the bulb socket for a label, tag or other marking. Some pieces display the Laurel brand name or a serial number, which you can cross-reference with information published on trusted online resources to make an identification. Since not all Laurel table lamps bear markings, you may need to search image galleries to see if you can find a model that matches your lamp. You can also consult a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer for an expert opinion. Find a variety of Laurel Lamp Company lamps on 1stDibs.
- What is a TV lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021TV lamps were first used in the 1950s and were small figure lamps designed to look like animals, people, or other objects. The general idea was that TV lamps could protect a person from damaging their eyes from watching too much TV by diffusing the light.
- What is a torchiere lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A torchiere lamp is a type of floor lamp designed to provide ambient illumination. It consists of a column base and a shade that grows wider as the eye travels upward. The position of its bulb or bulbs focus light on the ceiling. Find a selection of torchiere lamps on 1stDibs.
- What is the harp of a lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The harp of a lamp is a metal structure that connects the shade to the base of the lamp. Once the shade is on, you can't see the harp.
