- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024How you tell if a Butterfly chair is real depends on what you mean by the term "real."

Compare this label to images found online to begin to assess its authenticity. Then, examine the metal frame of the chair. An authentic Knoll Butterfly chair will be evenly polished and show no imperfections, such as highly visible welding marks. Any flaws will usually indicate that a piece is counterfeit.
