- Do humidors work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022If properly cared for, yes, humidors do indeed work. You must remember to have the humidity set correctly.

- How does a Rolex work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Most Rolex watches work thanks to a perpetual rotor found inside.

- How did old chandeliers work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Old chandeliers first worked because of taper candles inserted into their frames and lit nightly to provide illumination for a room.

- How does a wind-up toy work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022How a wind-up toy works relies on a part called a torsion spring.

Find a collection of antique and vintage wind-up toys on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024How Julian Opie does his work is through trial and error. The British artist’s process is one of experimentation. Often, he begins by taking a photograph and then uploading it to a computer, which he then uses to add symbols, signs, shadows and outlines. Then, he adds color and collage to the works, layering elements on top of one another. As he sees what works and what does not, Opie removes, rearranges and edits these layers until he achieves the final result he envisioned. Explore an assortment of Julian Opie art on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022How a Westminster clock works involves a quartz movement system. It provides the power needed to turn the gears, swing the pendulum and produce the chime melody.

- How does an Argand lamp work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021An Argand lamp is a type of oil lamp that was invented back in 1780.

Thick oil is used to soak the wick and then light the same to generate light.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021An extendable table is a great way to make use of or save space, as you wish. An extendable table is constructed in a way that the tabletop pulls apart to reveal the center layer as a usable, extendable option. Extendable tables mostly include flaps that click in place to keep from collapsing. Find a variety of tables on 1stDibs.
- How does a wall barometer work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021The Barometer is a scientific instrument used to measure air pressure in a certain environment. The barometer has a flattened metal cylinder that looks like a silver disc inside its construction, which is filled with a partial vacuum. As the pressure in the air increases, the disc gets crushed and as air pressure decreases the disc expands. This movement of the disc is transformed into the reading of the black barometer needle under the glass.
- How does an Astral lamp work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022How an Astral lamp works depends on its design. Early models held lamp oil and glowed when you lit an internal wick. The shade on the lamp then directed the light down onto a work surface. After the advent of electricity, the lamps carried electricity through wiring to a bulb screwed into a porcelain socket. The electrical energy heated a filament in the bulb, causing it to glow and produce light. You'll find a range of Astral lamps on 1stDibs.
- How do place cards work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Unlike escort cards which are placed at the entrance of a venue, place cards are arranged at the table so that guests know where they are supposed to sit and who is sitting next to them.
- How does a gas lamp work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021Gas lamps work by burning fuel like kerosene, propane or white gas to produce heat. It is the heat that causes the mantles to produce light. Gas lamps generally include an ignition valve that is located in the collar of the fixture, allowing you to turn it on or off. Find antique gas lamps and vintage lanterns on 1stDibs.
