How do I tell if a figurine is antique?
1 Answer
To tell if a figurine is antique, look on the base, bottom or back for maker's markings. You can cross-reference these marks with information published by trusted online resources to determine who made your piece. Then, you can conduct additional research to determine when the maker produced similar figurines. If your figurine is 100 or more years old, it is considered an antique. For assistance with dating, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Find a wide range of antique figurines on 1stDibs.
