What are old pieces of furniture called?
What old pieces of furniture are called depends on their age. Furniture that is at least 100 years old is antique. If a piece of furniture is 20 to 99 years old, it is vintage. You may also see people refer to old furniture by its type and style. For example, someone may say "a Victorian sofa" or a "mid-century modern dining table." On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of antique and vintage furniture.
