How can you tell if rattan is vintage?
1 Answer

To tell if rattan is vintage, examine the furnishing in search of a maker's marking. Vintage is the term for any rattan furniture made between 20 and 99 years ago. Older pieces are antique, and more recently crafted ones are contemporary. By researching the maker and the pieces they produced using trusted online resources, you may be able to roughly determine the year of production. Characteristics of your furniture can aid in the dating process, too. Often, vintage pieces have hardwood rather than metal frames, and the rattan will be natural rather than resin. Should you require any assistance, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a range of rattan furniture.
