Questions About The Seal Chair
- What is a seal ring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A seal ring — or signet ring — is a popular gift for anyone who desires an expressive, timeless piece of jewelry that can feature all manner of engraved motifs, gemstones, specific symbols or monograms. Signet rings get their name from signus, which means “sign” in Latin. The rings, which may historically be referred to as “seal rings,” date back thousands of years and were used as a form of signature. Whatever may have been engraved on the ring — a married couple’s initials, a family crest — identified ownership for the purposes of authenticating documents and more when impressed on soft wax. Find antique and vintage signet rings on 1stDibs.
- What is a seal skin coat?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A seal skin coat is a coat made from seal. Seals have no under fur, so seal skin is appealing because it’s lightweight as well as being wind and water resistant. Shop a selection of fur garments, including seal skin, on 1stDibs.
- Does teak need to be sealed?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024Generally, teak does not need to be sealed. The wood is naturally resistant to the effects of weather and requires very little maintenance. However, you should follow the care instructions included with your teak furniture for the best results. Explore a diverse assortment of teak wood furniture from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is Chinese seal carving?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Chinese seal carving refers to the traditional art of engraving the active side of a stamp or seal. Typically, the seals were made using stone, but bamboo, bone and wood could also be used. On 1stDibs, you can find a collection of authentic Chinese seal carvings from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The red seal on Chinese art is a way of communicating information about the piece. Depending on the artwork, the seal may say who produced it or who originally owned it. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of Chinese art.
- What Rolex do Navy Seals wear?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024What Rolex Navy Seals wear varies. Modern-day Seals actually don't receive Rolex watches as standard-issue gear and instead are free to wear whatever diver's watches they wish. However, there is a long history of Navy Seals donning Rolex Submariner watches in the field due to their accuracy, durability and high level of water resistance. Find a wide variety of Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
- Do Navy SEALs get Rolex watches?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023No, Navy SEALs no longer get Rolex watches as standard gear. The U.S. Navy stopped issuing them in 1983. However, many active-duty Navy SEALs still wear Rolex Submariner watches in the field due to their accuracy and exceptional waterproofing. Shop a large collection of Rolex watches from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023Whether Patek Philippe watches have the Geneva Seal on them depends on their age. Prior to the spring of 2009, all watches produced by the luxury Swiss watchmaker featured the seal, showing that they were manufactured in Geneva, Switzerland. Timepieces produced after that instead feature the Patek Philippe hallmark: two intertwined Ps positioned inside a shield. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of Patek Philippe watches.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023The difference between a lounge chair and a chair is specificity. A chair is the general term for furniture typically designed to seat one person at a time, and there are many different kinds of chairs, including dining, accent and office chairs. Lounge chairs are another example of a specific type of chair. They are chairs with a footrest that allows you to elevate your feet while sitting. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023To tell if a chair is an Eames chair, take a look under the seat or cushion. Authentic Eames lounge chairs are manufactured by Herman Miller and Vitra. If your Eames chair is a Herman Miller original, look for the legendary manufacturer’s specific logomarks on the product (these logomarks can be found on the company’s official website). There is also the manufacturing label, which is usually found under the seat or cushion (unless a former owner removed it). All of the classic Herman Miller designs are paired with a certificate of authenticity. Some designs may also have a medallion attached to certify their authenticity. You can then check trusted online resources to determine if the information on the label is correct for the style of chair (and more info on its construction is available on the official Eames website). You won’t see screws outside of the wood shells on an authentic Eames lounge chair, and prior to the 1970s, original vintage Eames lounge chairs were made with no more than five layers of plywood (during the 1970s, the chairs were made with seven layers). Find a variety of authentic Eames chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023The difference between an accent chair and a dining chair comes down to function and design. An accent chair usually goes in a seating area, and makers craft them with comfort in mind. As a result, most accent chairs feature cushioning and upholstery and are characterized by generous proportions. The purpose of a dining chair is to provide a place to sit while enjoying a meal. Usually, dining chairs are lighter and smaller than accent chairs for easy maneuvering. While they may have padded seats and backrests, dining chairs generally aren't as abundantly cushioned as accent chairs. Explore a large selection of chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022A club chair is called a club chair because the accent chairs became popular in the interior décor of gentleman's clubs in France. The original name for the club chair is “fauteuil confortable," which translates to "comfortable chair." You'll find a collection of club chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021The difference between an Adirondack chair and a Muskoka chair can be easily explained in that garden armchairs are called Adirondack in the USA and Muskoka in Canada. While they both have short legs, bent reclining seats, wide armrests and high backs, the Adirondack chair is 2 inches higher from the floor and 2 inches wider. The Adirondack chair uses a flat yoke at the back while Muskoka might use curved yokes. Shop for an Adirondack chair or Muskoka chair on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023The difference between a side chair and a Parsons chair is style. A side chair is a very commonly used dining chair. The form of a side chair may vary, but the constant is the lack of armrests to keep hands free for eating and to save space at the table. A Parsons chair is a type of side chair that features upholstery on the seat and back. Shop a selection of dining chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023There is no difference between a club chair and an armchair; a club chair is a type of armchair. An armchair is any chair with arms, while a club chair is a wide, comfortable type of armchair that is typically clad in leather and features thick upholstery. All club chairs are armchairs, but not all armchairs are club chairs. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of club chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021The difference between a task chair and an executive chair is that most task chairs will have adjustable seat height as well as swivel and tilt functions. Task chairs are lightweight and mobile but are not intended for long periods of continuous use. Executive chairs are meant to be more comfortable and are usually designed with high backrests. An executive chair is intended for long periods of use compared to a task chair, which in some cases may be armless and isn’t going to provide the premium comfort that can be expected from an executive chair. Task chairs are also typically less expensive than executive chairs. Find a variety of antique, modern and contemporary task chairs and executive chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023The difference between a lounge chair and an accent chair pertains to purpose. Typically, a lounge chair is wider and deeper than an accent chair and tends to have a thicker cushion. These stylistic differences owe to the fact that lounge chairs are meant to provide luxurious, comfortable seating for long periods of time, while accent chairs are more often intended to add visual appeal to a living room. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of living room chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023The difference between an occasional chair and an accent chair comes down to usage. An occasional chair is a decorative chair that is placed in a room for its look rather than to function as an everyday seating solution. As a result, occasional chairs may be used infrequently. An accent chair is any decorative chair placed in a seating area. They can be used only occasionally or on a daily basis. Explore a wide variety of chairs on 1stDibs.
- What is a Selig chair?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023A Selig chair is a chair imported by or produced by Selig, an American furniture company. Selig created Danish-inspired chairs, sofas and other furnishings for the home that were cutting-edge, contemporary and airy.
