Questions About Over Mantle Piece
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Yes, generally, a mantel should be longer than the fireplace below it to create a balanced look. A good rule of thumb is to have the mantel extend 3 to 6 inches on each side, so look for mantels that are 6 to 12 inches longer than the width of your fireplace. On 1stDibs, shop a range of mantels.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023A humidor piece of furniture is a cabinet designed to store cigars. The purpose of the humidor is to keep cigars at ideal humidity levels to preserve freshness until they're ready to be enjoyed. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of humidors.
- What is a James Turrell piece?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A James Turrell piece is an artwork created by the American installation artist James Turrell.

- Are all Limoges pieces marked?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, not all Limoges pieces are marked. While most Limoges include the factory's production and decorating marks, some pieces will have no mark.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023To 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.
- Are all Steuben pieces signed?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, all authentic Steuben glass pieces are signed in diamond script, typically on the bottom of the base. The signature is one of the easiest ways to verify the legitimacy of a Stueben glass piece. Shop a selection of authentic Stueben glass pieces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021An original piece of art is a work that is considered to be an authentic example of an artist’s output, versus a reproduction.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To 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.

Sofas, center tables, cabinets, cupboards, decorative objects, chairs and beds are all examples of statement furniture.
- La ChrysomeleFebruary 23, 2021A 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, 2024Picasso'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.
- Is a clock a piece of furniture?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024Whether 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023Which of Claude Monet's pieces is the most famous is open to debate.
