How can I tell how old a piece of furniture is?
There are a couple ways to check the age of your furniture. First, check for any labels, signatures or stamps. Also, check the type of wood and metal that was used for the piece. You can also take your piece to an expert for further inspection. Shop a collection of antique furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
