How do you identify birch furniture?
1 Answer

To identify birch furniture, look at pictures of items made from the hardwood shared on trusted online resources to become familiar with its visual characteristics. When taken from the outermost layers of trees, birch wood tends to have a whitish or cream-colored appearance, while the inner heartwood appears reddish brown. Birch wood also has a distinctive grain pattern with straight or faintly wavy lines marked by small pores. You can also research your furniture maker to determine if its artisans are known for working with birch. If you'd like an expert opinion on what materials were used to craft your furniture, a certified appraiser or other expert can assist you. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of birch wood furniture.
