    There is no single perfect necklace for a V-neck top or dress. Any necklace that echoes the V-shape of the neck can create a balanced look. Examples include tear-drop pendants and Y-shaped lariat necklaces. A short choker or collar necklace may also match well with a deep plunging neckline. Shop a diverse assortment of necklaces on 1stDibs.

    To frame needlepoint, you need to secure it to a mat and then place it under glass within a frame. Because old needlepoint is often fragile, consider visiting a frame shop to have a professional perform the work. Not only can this help to reduce the risk of damage, but it will also allow you to benefit from expert advice regarding what mat and frame will best complement the item. On 1stDibs, find a collection of vintage and antique needlepoint.

    A statement piece of furniture stands out on its own in the room. It will be the focus of your design — it’s attractive and eye-catching for one reason or another. Sofas, center tables, cabinets, cupboards, decorative objects, chairs and beds are all examples of statement furniture.
  • La ChrysomeleFebruary 23, 2021
    A definition of abstract art is art through which the artist doesn't attempt a visual depiction of the world. The artist may have other intentions : conveying a pure emotion, or achieving what (s)he perceives as visual perfection, etc. There are many kinds of abstract art : lyrical abstraction, geometrical abstraction, action painting… There is also an infinite spectrum between hyperrealism and pure abstraction, since one can argue that any brush stroke is by itself an abstraction of the reality — let alone flat color patches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
    Picasso's most famous piece is arguably Guernica, which he created in 1937. A black-and-white oil painting, it captures the horrors of war with its depiction of the German bombing of Guernica, Spain. Another of his well-known works is Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. When it was produced in 1907, the painting was considered immoral and shocking for how it showed nude women whose faces resembled Iberian tribal masks. Other notable works by Picasso include The Old Guitarist, Le Rêve, The Weeping Woman and Girl Before a Mirror. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Pablo Picasso art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    Whether a clock is a piece of furniture depends on its type. Freestanding clocks, like grandfather clocks, arguably fall under the category of furniture. On the other hand, wall clocks are usually thought of as wall decor, while table clocks may be called table decor or decorative objects. Shop a wide range of clocks on 1stDibs.

    No, not all Limoges pieces are marked. While most Limoges include the factory's production and decorating marks, some pieces will have no mark. That’s why it is important to purchase from a vetted seller or vendor to ensure authenticity. 1stDibs partners with only top-vetted sellers to offer authentic pieces that come with a buyer protection guarantee.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    To identify Murano glass, look for a label. You may find it on the bottom or the back of a piece. The label will usually specify the name of the glassworks that produced it. Consult trusted online resources to determine if a given artisan or workshop is known for making Murano glass. Authentic Murano glass is universally known for its quality, so look for pieces that feature smooth, even surfaces and bold, vibrant colors. The Vetro Artistico Murano trademark is an official trademark of the Venetian Glassmakers Association and may be of use in determining if your Murano glass is authentic, but buyers should keep in mind that the market is flooded with imitations of this glass. Experts recommend working with a certified appraiser to get assistance with identifying specific pieces. Find a range of Murano glassware on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

    Opinions on what is Hundertwasser's most famous piece vary. Some point to the Hundertwasserhaus, an apartment home in Vienna, Austria, that Friedensreich Hundertwasser designed. One of his best-known paintings is The Beard Is the Grass of the Bald-Headed Man, which he created in 1961. Many people also remember him for creating the Koru flag, a proposed but never adopted secondary flag for New Zealand. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Friedensreich Hundertwasser art.

    A butler, with respect to furniture, is a desk.

    Opinions vary on what is Banksy's most famous piece. Girl with Balloon is considered one of his best-known works. In 2001, the anonymous artist created the street art mural as part of a series of works located around London. In 2018, Banksy sold a painting of the work at an auction for $1.4 million. Shortly after the completion of the sale, the painting self-destructed and proceeded to partially shred itself. The stunt made headlines, adding to the fame of the work. Other famous Banksy pieces include Pulp Fiction, Di-Faced Tenner, Laugh Now, Love Is in the Air, Queen Vic, Devolved Parliament and Kissing Coppers. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Bansky art.

    No one knows for sure what the first piece of jewelry ever made was. Some of the earliest examples of jewelry are beads produced out of nautilus shells.

    Takashi Murakami's most famous piece is open to debate. The Japanese artist has created a number of works that have become widely known. They include Super Nova; Flowers, Flowers, Flowers; Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow, Blue and Death; 727 and Chakras Open and I Drown Under the Waterfall of Life. His most well-known character is Mr. DOB, an anime-inspired icon, which Americans might interpret as a cross between Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse and Lewis Carroll's Cheshire Cat given its pronounced ears and broad, menacing grin. Explore a collection of Takashi Murakami art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Boxwood is often used for chest pieces due to the properties of the wood. While it is a hard, dense wood that can hold up to wear and tear, boxwood is also simple to turn and carve, so it can be easily shaped into pawns, rooks and other pieces. In addition, the light color works well with white paint. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of chess sets.
