Questions About Weights And Balances
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024
    There is no single lightest weight fabric. Types of fabric can vary in thickness, leading to differences in weight. However, some fabrics are generally lighter than others. Examples of lightweight fabrics include chiffon, linen, organza, mesh and silk. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of apparel from some of the world's top boutiques.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A balance scale is used to measure weight. The item you want to weigh is placed on one side of the scale, then the scale is balanced using labeled weights on the other side. Once the scale balances, the weight of the labeled weights tells you the weight of the item. Shop for a range of balance scales from sellers around the world on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    The best walking cane for balance is the one that is properly sized for the individual who will be using it. Walking canes are designed to take pressure off when walking, hence it is important that the person can stand as upright as possible, with their elbow slightly bent. Find a collection of antique and vintage walking canes on 1stDibs today.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    How you read a hanging weight scale depends on the design. Analog hanging scales will usually have either a round or vertical bar dial marked with ounce and pound or milligram and gram markings. Look to where the needle points to determine the weight. Newer digital scales will usually show the weight in ounces or grams on a display. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of hanging scales.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, but how much weight a tensegrity table can hold depends on its construction and materials. Each piece has a maximum weight capacity that you should not exceed in order to protect both the table and anything put on it. Contact the manufacturer to find out the capacity of your specific table. Find a range of tensegrity tables on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To clean weighted sterling silver, use a cleaning product formulated for sterling silver and a soft lint-free cloth. Keep dust at bay by wiping the object down with a soft cloth dampened with warm water. Always dry the silver with a soft towel after cleaning. Find a collection of weighted sterling silver decorative objects on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024
    Whether weighted sterling is worth anything depends on a few things. Namely, the type of piece, its maker, age and condition will determine its value. In terms of the material itself, how much weighted silver is worth depends on how much sterling versus filler material it contains. Some pieces have very little real silver, while others are predominantly silver and have a higher scrap value. To get an estimate of the value of a piece of weighted silver, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer. Explore a range of weighted silver wares on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
