How can you tell if furniture is reproduction?
1 Answer
To tell if furniture is reproduction, search hidden areas, such as the undersides of tabletops and seats and the backs and drawer interiors of casegoods. Manufacturers of reproduction furniture attempt to capture the look of genuine antique and vintage pieces but aren't trying to deceive customers. As a result, they almost always mark their pieces with a maker's mark, making it easy to research the company that produced them. Once you locate this marking on your piece, use trusted online resources to learn more about the maker and find out if they're known for reproduction furniture. If you have any difficulty locating the mark or information about the manufacturer online, consider consulting a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer.
