Questions About Where To Engrave A Watch
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether or not an engraving is real depends on the material, region, or era the engraving is from. Consult an encyclopedia or art expert for precise information on the authenticity of an engraving. Find a collection of expertly-vetted engravings from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024Wood engravings differ from woodcuts due to how the wood used to produce the printing plate is prepared. With a woodcut, an artisan saws the wood right along the grain so that they can easily carve into its surface with a knife-like tool. For wood engravings, an artisan uses end-grain wood. Because the wood is much harder, it must be worked with a special needle-like tool, allowing an artist to produce an image with a much higher degree of detail. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of woodcut prints.
