Questions About French Oak Furniture
- Is oak furniture worth it?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024Many people feel that oak furniture is worth it. In addition to having an attractive appearance due to its regular grain pattern and natural color, oak is a dense hardwood that holds up well to the effects of use. It is also somewhat water-resistant, making it less likely to warp, especially when sealed. Keep in mind that other factors affect furniture quality beyond its wood type. Comparing construction techniques, joinery, hardware types and other characteristics can help you select furniture that suits your needs, appeals to your sense of style and fits your budget. Shop a large collection of oak furniture and other wood furniture on 1stDibs.
- Can oak furniture be refinished?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, oak furniture can indeed be refinished. First, clean the oak, then sand down the existing finish with coarse sandpaper, then apply a coat of sealant. Finish your DIY project by staining or painting the wood. You can also save the hassle by shopping a collection of oak furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is tiger oak furniture?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Tiger oak furniture refers to tables, case goods, seating and other furnishings produced out of a specific type of wood called tiger oak. It is conventional oak wood that undergoes quarter sawing to create a striped grain pattern. Find a variety of tiger oak furniture on 1stDibs.
- Is oak furniture good quality?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024Yes, oak furniture can be of good quality. As a dense, strong hardwood, oak can make for sturdy furniture that is capable of standing the test of time. However, the methods used to craft furniture and the strength of the hardware and adhesives that go into it also impacts the overall quality. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of oak furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024Yes, oak wood is good for furniture. Due to its density, oak furniture is sturdy and can stand the test of time. The wood is also fairly resistant to rot, mold and mildew, especially when given a protective finish. As a result, it can even be used to make outdoor furniture. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of wood furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Quarter sawn oak furniture is furniture made of wood cut so that angular growth rings intersect the face of the board at a 60 to 90 degree angle. Quarter sawn oak furniture was a hallmark of the 20th century Arts & Crafts style. Shop elegant and traditionally beautiful quarter sawn oak furniture 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 14, 2024Yes, you can paint solid oak furniture. However, if a piece already has a finish on it, you may need to strip the paint using a chemical stripper or hand tools and apply a primer before painting. Because the stripping process can result in damage when performed improperly, you may wish to have a professional paint your furniture for you. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of solid oak furniture.
- How old is tiger oak furniture?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Tiger oak furniture dates back to the 19th century, so it may be hard to pinpoint the exact age. The best way to date tiger oak furniture is to work with an appraiser. You’ll find expertly vetted tiger oak furniture and other wood furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024Many colors go with oak furniture. To bring out the warmth of the material, pair it with reds, oranges, yellows or earthy greens. Cooler blues and purples can make an appealing contrast with oak, while neutrals like white and gray combined with oak furnishings are popular for minimalist interiors. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of oak furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024To tell if furniture is made of oak, look closely at the grain. Oak wood has a regular grain pattern with few knots. As a result, it often looks like it has thin lines drawn on it. If an oak piece is unfinished and shows its natural color, you can expect it to be a light to medium color that is brown or yellowish in hue, depending on the oak species. You can find many detailed images of natural oak wood on trusted online resources. Examining photographs can help you become familiar with what oak's grain and color look like so that you can make a more confident identification. Researching the furniture maker and learning about what woods its craftspeople typically worked with may also be helpful. For example, Stickley and Bernhardt are both well-known for producing oak pieces. Shop a wide variety of oak furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Some popular French furniture styles of the 19th century include Directoire, Empire and Restoration. The Regency style popular from 1715 to 1730 is also well known. Many styles share their names with the monarchs who ruled during the period. Examples include the Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI styles. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of French furniture.
- What is French furniture called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024French furniture is usually just called French furniture in English. In French, someone might say "les meubles français," which translates directly to "French furniture." However, there are names for furniture styles inspired by the furniture produced in France. French Provincial is the name for pieces made in or inspired by craftsmen from the Loire Valley or in Lyon. Furniture produced in this style often shows off scalloped carvings and curving cabriole legs. French royal furniture is the general term for furnishings made for the monarchs of France or inspired by these pieces. An example is Louis XVI furniture, which often includes clean lines and carved details such as scrolls and acanthus flourishes that were inspired by ancient Greece and Rome. Find a wide variety of French furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To know if your French furniture is provincial, examine its decorative flourishes. Provincial furniture often showed off a white painted finish with gold gilt accents. Many pieces feature carvings depicting mythological subjects or floral motifs. On 1stDibs, find a collection of expertly vetted French provincial furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023In French, the term for a writing desk that often featured a drop-down writing surface is secretaire. This type of desk is called a secretary desk in English. Simply put, a secretary desk is a multifunctional piece of furniture with a hinged writing surface that folds open or drops down. When the leaf is folded out, small inner storage compartments, which are called pigeonholes, cubbies, recesses or drawers, are revealed. On 1stDibs, shop antique secretary desks from some of the world's top sellers.
