Questions About Used French Books
- How were book presses used?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A book press was used to bind books with pressure. When a book is placed in the center of the press, the platen is lowered to firmly press the book to hold its shape. Today, book presses are a popular home decor choice for collectors and avid book readers alike. Shop a selection of vintage book presses on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Balenciaga uses French shoe sizing. Most French fashion houses use European sizing methods, which is also true for Balenciaga shoes—it follows the EU method. If you know your North American shoe size, a good rule of thumb is to add 31 to it and you’ll have your EU shoe size. If you’re wondering about Balenciaga clothing, most items follow a traditional S, M, L, etc. format. You’ll find a large collection of Balenciaga shoes and other products from many of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The French painters of the 19th century worked in two styles. Neoclassicism dominated the first half of the century, and Impressionism was the most common style during the second half. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of French paintings.
