How can you tell if a Breuer chair is real?
1 Answer

To tell if a Breuer chair is real, look closely at its chromed tubular steel frame. A genuine Breuer chair will have polished, welded ends, while replicas tend to feature visible end caps. You can also search for a label under the seat. These labels changed over the years, so compare yours to images of the labeling that appears in images of authentic chairs shared on trusted online resources to assess authenticity. Alternatively, you can seek the opinion of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a range of Marcel Breuer chairs.
