Questions About Antique Chinese Bottles
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Chinese snuff bottles are decorative containers originally produced during the Qing Dynasty. Their original purpose was to hold powdered tobacco. However, most people use snuff bottles as decorative objects today. You can find a range of Chinese snuff bottles on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Snuff bottles were used in China in the early 18th century. The bottle contained powdered tobacco, which was illegal to smoke, but was considered a remedy for colds and headaches and was therefore allowed in bottles in powdered form. On 1stDibs, find a collection of authentic snuff bottles from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024
    To identify antique Chinese furniture, look carefully at its details. Chinese craftsmen often built furniture using mortise and tenon joinery, eliminating the need for nails and screws. If you see this type of hardware, your piece is likely not at least 100 years old, especially if the hardware still looks new and shiny. Since antique furniture was handmade, you will normally see slight imperfections, such as tool marks or slight variations in carvings. Pieces that appear completely uniform and pristine are less often genuine antiques.

    When present, maker's marks can also be helpful. Research the marks to learn more about when the maker was active and producing pieces like yours. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer evaluate your furniture for you.

    To determine the age of a Chinese furniture piece, look carefully at the joinery and finish. Natural expansion and contraction of the wood over time will cause a joint to protrude or retract, distorting a once-seamless fit. Antique lacquer finishes become crackled and worn over time. Areas of exposed wood, such as the underside of a table, the footrest of a chair, or the back of a cabinet should appear raw and dry compared to the finished surface. With use, the legs of tables and chairs become weathered near the bottom from precipitation and use.
