Questions About Vintage Working Desk
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023
    A typewriter desk works due to its unique design. Although pieces vary, most have a special storage area that sits at a comfortable level for typing. On many desks, a sliding door covers this compartment to keep the typewriter hidden from sight and free of dust. Shop a range of typewriter desks on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A secretary desk works with the help of hinges that secure the writing surface to the rest of the piece. To use one, you simply pull down on the wooden door to open the hinge and lower the writing surface. Return the desk to its closed position by lifting the writing surface up. You'll find a selection of secretary desks on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Vintage mood rings work because of their unique stones. Rather than being set with a precious gemstone, mood rings feature thermoplastic liquid crystals layered under a protective coating that is sensitive to temperature changes. When your body temperature rises and falls, the shift causes the crystals to react and show off different colors. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of vintage rings.
