Questions About Furniture From 1939
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024
    No, Lane Furniture is not the same as United Furniture. Up until 2017, Lane Furniture was a completely separate company from United, and the two furniture makers had no affiliation with each other. That changed when United Furniture, a subsidiary of Heritage Home Group, acquired Lane. Soon after the initial sale, Heritage resold Lane to Bassett Furniture. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of Lane Furniture pieces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between modern furniture and old furniture is in the specificity of the term. Generally, pieces considered modern date from between the end of World War II in 1945 and the end of the 1970s. During this period, more furniture makers mass produced pieces, and designers increasingly used new materials, such as plywood and plastic. Old furniture is not a specific term. People frequently use the term old for anything that subjectively appears aged. Explore a large selection of modern furniture on 1stDibs.

    Whether or not an easel is considered furniture is largely a matter of personal opinion. Generally, the word “furniture” describes items that make a space suitable for working or living. An easel that holds an artwork for production or display purposes likely fits this definition. Find a selection of easels on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    An easy way to identify your furniture is to look at the manufacturing label, stamp, or tag which shows the name of the creator. There might also be a signature from the furniture maker instead.
    1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021
    You can easily identify your furniture by looking over them in areas such as the underside or backside. If there are drawers, you can pull them out to inspect all the sides. A maker’s mark is often placed in these areas. You can also look for identification papers, as they give the location of the factory, date of manufacture, name of the maker and the location of the factory. Find a variety of antique and vintage furniture on 1stDibs.

    Regency is a style of furniture that emerged during the early 19th century, when the Prince of Wales, future King George IV, assumed rule of the United Kingdom as Regent while his father, George III, was ill. Rather than the rich carvings and curves of earlier periods, it is characterized by plain lines and surfaces, slender legs and right angles highlighted by elaborate, often metal, ornamentation.

    What retro furniture is depends on the context. In some cases, the term refers to furniture produced more than 20 years ago and is a synonym for vintage.

    Romweber Furniture was an American furniture manufacturer. It began in the late 1800s with the launch of American Furniture Company, which made bedroom furniture; Batesville Cabinet Company, a dining-room set manufacturer and Batesville Coffin Company. The three companies eventually merged to become a large manufacturer of case goods, furniture and more. While Romweber Furniture had earlier designers working in the French Rococo and Chippendale styles, the brand is best known for its mid-century modern pieces. This includes walnut case pieces and storage cabinets that feature decorative olive-ash and burl-wood inlays with brass hardware, as well as solid oak credenzas and dining tables designed by Harold Schwartz. For collectors of sophisticated 1950s furniture, the company’s sturdy Viking Oak line is particularly popular. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Romweber furniture.

    Luxury furniture is a general term for furniture of exemplary quality. Luxury furniture is seen as a long-term investment.
