Questions and answers

How can one search for armoires by size?

Finding armoires in search engines on the web by size is not easy as search engines are best at finding text only. Also, when searching for armoires to fit a given space, slightly narrower pieces would also suit. Even if some outlets allow searching for armoires by size, checking many shops at the same time is time-consuming. Our systems scour many webshops on the web and list tens of thousands of items to let you get the one that is just perfect.

What is the best way to measure the space to fit an armoire in?

Measure the width and the depth of the floor area where you'd like to place an armoire. The most accurate way is to use a measuring tape. Hold the beginning of the tape down at the edge of the area, and let it run to the other edge. Make sure the tape is parallel to the side of the space, as otherwise you would overestimate the available space. If the distance is larger than what you can stretch to, ask someone else for help, or split what you need to measure up into multiple parts. This can be done by either holding the tape down partway through and continuing running it while letting the first end go, or by marking how far you measured on the floor or wall, and reposition the tape to complete the measurement. If you would not like to draw on your floor, you can position a pointy object like a screwdriver there. Make sure to avoid dead places where the piece of furniture won't go like electric sockets. Also it may be necessary to measure the height of the space wherever the ceiling is low.

How much room should one leave in front of an armoire?

In order for an armoire to be usable, it requires more space than its proper size. You need to be able to access it and be in front of it to access documents and other items stored on an armoire, and if an armoire has doors, they need to be able to be opened. Double doors will generally need an additional depth of half of the width of the item, and in general, you will need at least 40-60 cm in front of an armoire for access. This means, for example, an armoire that is 40 cm deep needs at least 80 cm space. Fortunately, this extra space does not need to be exclusive: access spaces of two or more pieces of furniture can overlap as long as this is not expected to lead to people bumping into each other in, for example, an office setting.

From the history of furniture: Old Pewter Part 3

As has been mentioned already, the composition of

MANUAL pewter varies greatly. The very finest pewter is simply tin hardened by the addition of copper and antimony. Ordinary pewter is tin alloyed with lead, which ingre dient is added on account of its cheapness, and is often, therefore, present in excessive amount.

It was this lead which made pewter such a very valu able possession in Revolutionary days. All records of those hard-fought times have frequent references to the scarcity of bullets. In 1777 Madam Smith, wife of the minister at Sharon, Connecticut, invited all her friends and neighbours to come to spend the evening with her, and to bring every pewter article with them which they could possibly spare."

Before the evening had passed several gallons of good bullets had been cheerfully run through bullet- moulds, the good ladies sacrificing without a pang the much-prized pewter. This destruction of household utensils necessitated the making of others, so there were "trencher-bees " instituted, and held from house to house for many evenings. At these the young men of the village whittled and shaped enough trenchers of maple and poplar wood to supply the housewives' needs. The women smoothed down these rough wooden ves sels with broken glass, and polished them witli a sand made of powdered limestone.

Figure 292 shows what was called in old lists "a bason and ewer." Our wash-stand set, while evi dently much used in its day, is in a fine state of preser vation. It is a good-sized pitcher for those days, more than a gallon, even more than the blue
