How can I tell how old my dining room set is?
1 Answer
To tell how old your dining room set is, you can either consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer or research it yourself using trusted online resources. A great place to start is with the maker's markings, which you will often find under tabletops and seats. Along with the maker's name, some dining room furniture may even be marked with a production year or a serial, style or model number, which simplifies the research process. Should you only find a name, read about the maker and learn when it produced sets similar to yours to get a rough idea of the age of your set. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of dining room sets.
