Questions About Antique Chinese Seal
- What is Chinese seal carving?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Chinese seal carving refers to the traditional art of engraving the active side of a stamp or seal. Typically, the seals were made using stone, but bamboo, bone and wood could also be used. On 1stDibs, you can find a collection of authentic Chinese seal carvings from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The red seal on Chinese art is a way of communicating information about the piece. Depending on the artwork, the seal may say who produced it or who originally owned it. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of Chinese art.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024To identify antique Chinese furniture, look carefully at its details. Chinese craftsmen often built furniture using mortise and tenon joinery, eliminating the need for nails and screws. If you see this type of hardware, your piece is likely not at least 100 years old, especially if the hardware still looks new and shiny. Since antique furniture was handmade, you will normally see slight imperfections, such as tool marks or slight variations in carvings. Pieces that appear completely uniform and pristine are less often genuine antiques.
When present, maker's marks can also be helpful. Research the marks to learn more about when the maker was active and producing pieces like yours. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer evaluate your furniture for you.
Shop an assortment of antique Chinese furniture. 
PAGODA REDOctober 7, 2020To determine the age of a Chinese furniture piece, look carefully at the joinery and finish. Natural expansion and contraction of the wood over time will cause a joint to protrude or retract, distorting a once-seamless fit. Antique lacquer finishes become crackled and worn over time. Areas of exposed wood, such as the underside of a table, the footrest of a chair, or the back of a cabinet should appear raw and dry compared to the finished surface. With use, the legs of tables and chairs become weathered near the bottom from precipitation and use.
