How do I identify my furniture?
2 Answers
An easy way to identify your furniture is to look at the manufacturing label, stamp, or tag which shows the name of the creator. There might also be a signature from the furniture maker instead.

You can easily identify your furniture by looking over them in areas such as the underside or backside. If there are drawers, you can pull them out to inspect all the sides. A maker’s mark is often placed in these areas. You can also look for identification papers, as they give the location of the factory, date of manufacture, name of the maker and the location of the factory.
