How do I identify Craftsman furniture?
1 Answer

To identify Craftsman furniture, first search for a maker's mark on hidden areas, such as the insides and undersides of drawers and under seats and tabletops. If you locate a mark, look it up using trusted online resources to identify the maker of your furniture and research whether they worked in the Craftsman style. Furniture from certain makers, such as Gustav Stickley, Greene & Greene, Roycroft Community, Charles Limbert and Lawrence Peabody, is often Craftsman style. Because many Craftsman pieces are unmarked, familiarize yourself with common characteristics of the style, such as evenly spaced slats, understated round or square drawer pulls, straight lines and exposed dowels and tenons. If you'd like an expert opinion, have a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer inspect your piece. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Craftsman furniture.
