    A settee looks similar to a sofa in the U.S. It typically features a sturdy frame clad in leather or textile upholstery and rests on a sturdy base or legs. The main difference between a settee and a sofa is proportions. A settee is usually lower and shorter than a conventional sofa. In India and some other countries, the term settee is actually a synonym for sofa and describes the same type of furniture. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of settees.

    To look good with a necklace, first choose one that matches the shape of the neckline of what you are wearing. For example, a curved necklace like a string of pearls can complement a scoop neck, while a lariat can beautifully fill in a V-neck. Next, consider the placement of the neckline, choosing a necklace that will hang above or below it rather than hitting right along it. The length and thickness of your neck should also influence your decision. Longer necklaces visually lengthen and narrow the neck, while shorter necklaces have the opposite effect. Finally, think about the occasion and the other jewelry you intend to wear. Bolder statement pieces can be balanced by more understated jewelry and vice versa, and many people prefer to reserve more dramatic jewelry looks for night and special occasions. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    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 ExpertMarch 13, 2024
    What a highball glass looks like varies. However, highballs typically have a flat bottom and tall, gently tapered sides. Most highball glasses hold 8 to 12 fluid ounces of liquid. Explore a diverse assortment of highball glasses from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.

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

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023
    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.

  • 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 ExpertMay 5, 2023
    The best way to look up a Gucci serial number depends on the age of the piece. Newer pieces contain an NFC tag that can communicate with a smartphone. Just place your phone near the Gucci item and wait for the notification. Follow the prompts to access your serial number and other information. To look up a serial number on older pieces, contact Gucci customer service by phone, online chat, WhatsApp or email. Check the official website for the latest contact information. Shop a selection of Gucci pieces from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023
    What length necklace looks best depends on two main factors: your neck and what you're wearing. Generally, necklaces that are 18 inches or longer create the illusion of a longer, thinner neck, while shorter necklaces like chokers and collars visually shorten and widen the neck. You typically want a necklace to fall above or below rather than right at the neckline of a top or dress. As a result, many people own necklaces in varying lengths to match different outfits. Find a wide range of necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 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.
