When no maker's mark is present, experts recommend consulting a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of antique and vintage furniture.

    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.

    Henry Link Furniture was established in the early 1960s. Although Henry Link is best known for his high-quality wicker dressers, desks, chairs and other seating, the designer and entrepreneur was also a key figure in revolutionizing America’s furniture industry and moving it toward mass production during the early 20th century. When he visited Henry Ford’s automobile plant in Detroit, Michigan, Link became inspired by the factory’s assembly process. Upon his return to Lexington, Link installed automatic conveyors and mass-production techniques at the Dixie Furniture Company, which he was leading as of 1936. To facilitate Dixie Furniture Company’s exponential growth, four separate divisions were created in the 1950s and 1960s, including Henry Link Furniture. The company was purchased by Michigan’s Masco Corporation in 1987. Find vintage Henry Link Furniture on 1stDibs.

    To tell how old your antique furniture is, research the maker using trusted online resources. You may find that the furniture maker was active for only a short period, giving you the ability to roughly estimate its age.

Then, use trusted online resources to learn more about who produced the furniture and the current demand for similar pieces. Many online platforms will allow you to see how much similar pieces have sold for in the past, but keep in mind that the condition of your furniture will impact how much it is worth. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer evaluate your furniture and provide you with an estimated value.

    To tell how old Lane furniture is, search your piece for a maker's marking. Along with the Lane Furniture name, Lane pieces also display an eight-digit number. When read backward, this number tells you the furniture's year and date of production.

    To tell how old an Ercol chair is, examine its label, usually under the seat. Some chairs will have the date of manufacture printed right on them, immediately allowing you to date them. Others may display a style number you can look up online to date your chair. When these methods don't work, the label itself can provide clues. The British furniture maker has identified its pieces with different styles of labels over the years, so by comparing what's present on your piece to reference images published on trusted online resources, you can often estimate its age. If you have difficulty dating your chair, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you. On 1stDibs, explore an assortment of Ercol chairs.
