Questions About Antique Chippendale Furniture
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Chippendale furniture is a style of furniture developed during the mid 18th century. It gets its name from the British cabinet maker Thomas Chippendale because his work inspired the look of the furnishings. Some common elements of Chippendale include upholstered seats, cabriole legs with ball-and-claw feet and yoked backs. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Chippendale furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    To identify Chippendale furniture, first examine its overall shape. Chippendale furniture tends to have curved lines, such as arching arms on chairs and cabriole legs on seating, tables and case goods. Claw feet and batwing hardware are also common features of furnishings in the Chippendale style. The name Chippendale comes from Thomas Chippendale, a well-known London cabinetmaker, and the style was popular in the U.S. during the 16th century. Contemporary furniture designers continue to produce pieces in this style to this day. Find a selection of Chippendale furniture on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To tell if furniture is authentic Chippendale, first examine the wood. All authentic pieces will feature solid hardwood with no engineered materials. Reddish-brown mahogany was the most popular wood type for Chippendale pieces. Also, examine the legs and feet for signs of hand-carving. Chippendale furniture often features reeded and fluted legs as well as ball and claw feet. Find a variety of expertly vetted Chippendale furniture on 1stDibs.

Shellac or varnish and water base are commonly used film finishes. Find an exquisite collection of antique, new and vintage furniture on 1stDibs
  • PAGODA RED
    PAGODA REDOctober 7, 2020

    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.

  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    To tell how old your antique furniture is, research the maker using trusted online resources. You may find that the furniture maker was active for only a short period, giving you the ability to roughly estimate its age. For manufacturers and designers with a long history of production, consider the style of your furniture and look for images of similar pieces published online. Because it may be difficult to date furniture on your own, consider consulting a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of antique furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    To tell what your antique furniture is worth, look at sales histories on trusted online platforms and read valuation guides posted on trusted online resources. The maker, type, style, age and condition of your furniture will impact its value. Researching furniture produced by the same maker is a good starting point. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can also aid you in the valuation process. Find a large collection of antique furniture on 1stDibs.
