Foray into 1st Dibs

We are about to have our first 1stdibs photo shoot today and thought we should share some information, new to us, which we found about this great resource:

About 1stdibs.com:
1stdibs.com founded in 2001 is the world’s leading on-line resource for antiques, 20th century design, fine and estate jewelry, and vintage couture and designer fashion, representing over 700 dealers in 21 of the largest U.S. markets plus Paris, London, Toronto and Montreal, and has over a half billion dollars of inventory flowing through its system each year. All items can be searched by location and purchased directly from the dealer. As stated on HarvardBusiness.org, “1stdibs has now become the leading source to search for antiques and mid-modern furniture outpacing both traditional auction houses, Sotheby’s and Christies, and offering a higher quality experience than e-bay.”

And here is Inspirational Article on How 1stDibs came about:
