    Fake Louboutins often look similar to authentic shoes produced by the French luxury fashion house of Christian Louboutin until you inspect their details closely. Often, the soles provide clues. On replicas, the soles are frequently plastic or synthetic leather rather than the vibrant cherry red used for genuine red bottoms. Also, fakes may have noticeable glue marks where the sole joins the rest of the shoe. The logos on genuine soles are always embossed and should be in the correct font and deeply pressed into the leather. Printed logos, misspellings and shallow embossing usually indicate reproductions. If you're unsure about the authenticity of a particular pair of shoes, have a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert evaluate them. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of Christian Louboutin shoes.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    Clement Greenberg did not like Surrealism because he felt that it did not require any changes to the conventions of Western art that had existed since the Italian Renaissance. His criticism stems from the fact that many Surrealists focused more on subject matter than pioneering new techniques. They sought to incorporate the inner workings of the unconscious mind into their pieces. However, Greenberg was not entirely correct in stating that Surrealists failed to innovate. One novel new approach that emerged from Surrealism was automatic drawing, which can be likened to a stream of consciousness to channel psychological experiences. Shop a wide range of Surrealist art on 1stDibs.

    Flappers were young women known for their energy who pushed the boundaries of freedom for women of that era.

    Victorian mirrors looked ornate and opulent. Created during the reign of Queen Victoria, Victorian mirrors were typically framed in heavily carved oak, mahogany or walnut. All of the era’s furniture was especially decorative, and so the wood used to frame mirrors was frequently painted or gilded. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Victorian mirrors.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024
    No one knows for sure what the first couch looked like. However, couches have been traced back to ancient Greece, where they were called klinai. These bench-like seats, intended for reclining and other activities, were covered with cushions and soft blankets. Some featured ornately carved wood or stone backrests, while others lacked backs entirely. While the term “couch” comes from the Old French “couche,” meaning to lie down, and sofa has Eastern origins, both are forms of “divan,” a Turkish word that means an elongated cushioned seat. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of couches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    What a real pearl looks like can vary. However, real pearls typically have a noticeable luster and may be white, cream, pink, purple or gray. Their surfaces often have variations in texture, such as small bumps or grooves, due to their natural origins. No two pearls will be completely identical in color, shape and texture. If you have a piece of jewelry with completely uniform pearls, it is unlikely to feature real pearls. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of pearl jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 7, 2024
    What Shaker cabinets look like can be summed up with the word “box-like.” The doors on Shaker cabinetry have a standard rectangular shape and four defined squared-off corners. What separates them from traditional cabinets is the inset center panel that adds dimension to their appearance. While the “Shaker style” label is today given to many plain, simple wooden pieces, it should also denote superior construction and solid materials. Authentic Shaker cabinets were painstakingly crafted from woods like maple and cherry using traditional methods such as mortise-and-tenon and dovetail joinery and lathe turning. Find Shaker cabinets for sale on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024
    Bold, clean lines and simple, sturdy symmetry help define what Scandinavian modern design looks like. For furniture, designers working in this style often use native woods such as pine, ash and beech, giving pieces a light color palette. The emphasis of Scandinavian modern design is on functionality over ornamentation, so most furnishings have little to no decorative embellishment. Some iconic examples of Scandinavian modern design include Arne Jacobsen's Ant chair, Greta Magnusson-Grossman's Grasshopper table lamp, Alvar Aalto's Stool 60, Poul Henningsen's Artichoke lamp and Hans J. Wegner's Wishbone chair. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of Scandinavian modern furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Shantung silk looks like a shimmery piece of fabric. You can identify it by looking for tiny irregular rides called slubs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024
    What the Capodimonte mark looks like has changed over the years. From 1743 through 1771, variations of the fleur-de-lis were the most common markings. From 1830 to 1967, the Italian maker generally used a letter N or G positioned beneath a crown. From 1967 onward, pieces generally displayed an impressed IPA stamp and a back stamp with a crowned letter N, the IPA lettering and the brand name. You can consult trusted online resources to see images of Capodimonte stamps from various eras. Additionally, you may wish to work with an antiques dealer to verify the age and authenticity of your porcelain. Find a collection of Capodimonte pieces on 1stDibs.
