Questions About What Year
- What year is my Rolex?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To determine what year your Rolex watch is, use the serial number. Normally, you will find the number engraved on the bottom half of the back of the case. Depending on the age and model, the serial number ranges from four to eight digits in length. You can contact Rolex to determine the year that corresponds to the serial number or use an online tool. On 1stDibs, find a variety of expertly vetted Rolex watches.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The easiest way to identify the year a Rolex is from is to first look at the warranty and authenticity card. When buying a preloved Rolex watch, access to a warranty and authenticity card may not be accessible. In this case, looking up the watch’s serial number on the brand’s website will help you determine the age of a Rolex. Browse a selection of well-vetted and authentic Rolex pieces on 1stDibs.
- What are birth year watches?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023Birth year watches are wristwatches that came out the year you were born.

Shop a selection of watches from the world's top jewelers on 1stDibs.
- What year is vintage Chanel?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023What year is vintage for Chanel changes over time. For a Chanel piece to be considered vintage, it must be at least 20 years old.

- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023To tell what year your Cartier watch was made, you can typically look at the serial number on the back.

- 1stDibs ExpertMay 14, 2024To tell what year your Ralph Lauren is, use the brand label found on the piece. The American fashion brand has changed its label many times over the years.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 25, 2024The years that encompass the mid-century modern period are roughly 1933 until 1965, but most experts argue, however, that the mid-century modern era correlates specifically to the years following World War II. These years in America saw one of the most delightful and dramatic flowerings of creativity in design history. Vintage mid-century modern furniture — including tables, chairs, desks and case pieces — are often organically shaped, clean-lined and elegantly simple.
Postwar architects and designers in the United States were animated by new ideas and new technology during the era of mid-century modernism. Materials developed for wartime use became available for domestic goods and were incorporated into mid-century furniture designs manufactured by the likes of Knoll and Herman Miller.
Charles and Ray Eames and Eero Saarinen, who had experimented extensively with molded plywood, eagerly embraced fiberglass for pieces such as the La Chaise and the Womb chair, respectively.
Knoll became a chief influencer in the rise of modern design in the United States, thanks to the work of Florence Knoll, the pioneering architect and designer who made the firm a leader in its field. The seating that Knoll created for office spaces soon became desirable for the home. Similarly, Michigan’s Herman Miller is best known for its iconic mid-century modern furniture, and while the company focused on the office, people loved its designs for their homes, too.
Find vintage mid-century modern furniture for sale on 1stDibs. - 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Cocktail dresses first rose to prominence in the 1920s and onward, with each era making its own mark on the practical and fashionable garment. You’ll find a collection of vintage and contemporary cocktail dresses from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024The years between 1950 and 1960 are typically considered mid-century. Some people also include the 1970s in the definition. Remember that the term mid-century furniture refers to pieces produced during the middle of the 20th century. It is different from mid-century modern, the name for a furniture style that emerged primarily in the years following World War II and is characterized by pieces that were conceived and made in an energetic, optimistic spirit by creators who believed that good design was an essential part of good living. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of mid-century furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022West Virginia-based Blenko Glass Company made its beloved jewel-toned, hand-blown glass lamps from 1947 through 1963. The company, established in 1893, has operated out of Milton, WV, since 1921, and started out producing glass vases and decanters.
