How do you identify a hallmark?
1 Answer
To identify a hallmark, first try taking a photograph. You can often determine who created or manufactured a piece of pottery, a furnishing, silver objects, jewelry and other items simply by performing a reverse image search online of the maker's mark. If that method yields no results, look at encyclopedias and other trustworthy online resources related to the type of item you are attempting to identify to learn about its potential hallmarks. Alternatively, you can consult a certified appraiser or experienced antiques dealer for further information about hallmarks that are typical of items, makers, eras and more. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of furniture, jewelry and decorative objects from some of the world's top sellers.
