How do you identify a Bunting glider?

1 Answer
How do you identify a Bunting glider?
To identify a Bunting glider, examine the top of the seat from the side. Authentic pieces typically show off a slight curl along the top. Also, look at the side of the frame. Bunting gliders usually have a tapered side that collectors commonly call "the lily" due to its trumpet-like shape. When in doubt, consult a certified appraiser or experienced antiques dealer for assistance with identifications. Shop a collection of vintage gliders and other seating on 1stDibs.
