Questions About Antique Chinese Dragons
- What does a Chinese dragon mean?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A Chinese dragon, in Chinese culture, represents luck, strength, and health. Due to these associations, the dragon has become the symbol of imperial power and authority.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A Chinese vase with a dragon typically means good fortune and prosperity. Throughout East Asia, the dragon is a symbol of luck. In China, the mythical beast is a common motif used in the designs of pottery, furniture and art. On 1stDibs, find a range of Chinese vases.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024To 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.
Shop an assortment of antique Chinese furniture. 
Lotus GallerySeptember 23, 2020The best way to know is to take it to an expert, such as an appraiser, reputable dealer or auction house, or museum
PAGODA REDOctober 7, 2020To 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.
