Questions About Antique Eastlake Furniture
- What is Eastlake design?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Eastlake is a design movement started by architect Charles Eastlake. It is considered part of the late Victorian-era and features geometric shapes and curves in furniture, a nod towards modernism. You can shop a collection of Eastlake furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Although crafted in the Victorian era, Eastlake furniture features modest curves and is more geometric in shape. The style hints at modernism, a sharp contrast to its other Victoria era counterparts. Shop a selection of Eastlake furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Eastlake furniture dates back to the Victorian Era. Charles Eastlake created the furniture from 1870 to 1890 as a reaction to the opulent designs British manufacturers made at the time. Although his pieces were highly decorative, they were simpler than their European counterparts. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Eastlake furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024The difference between Eastlake and Victorian furniture is that one style is a reaction to the other. The Victorian era began with the ascension of Queen Victoria to the throne in 1837. During the period, furniture makers created highly ornate pieces with ornamental details, such as intricate carvings of floral and animal motifs, and plush upholstery. The period also saw the start of the mass production of furniture. In 1868, Charles Eastlake published a book on design that criticized the Victorian style as overly ornamental and urged a return to traditional handcrafting. His work inspired the Eastlake style. Eastlake furniture tends to be understated and has fewer decorative embellishments and more angular lines. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of Eastlake and Victorian furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024To know if your Eastlake furniture is real, look for a maker's label or tag. These markings are typically found inside drawers, on the underside of sofa frames, beneath tabletops or on the bottoms of seats on chairs. You can find images of the hallmarks found on authentic Eastlake furniture published on trusted online resources to compare to the markings on your furniture. Carvings can also provide a clue as to the authenticity. On authentic Eastlake pieces, any carvings are typically light and shallow, while replicas may have deeper carvings because they were produced by machine. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can help you with the authentication process. Explore a selection of Eastlake furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024To identify your antique furniture, look for an engraving, tag, label or other marking that indicates who produced it. You may find it on the bottom or back of your furniture or inside a drawer or cabinet. Once you have located the marking, you can snap a photo of it and use a reverse image search to try and identify the maker. Or, you can type a description of the mark into a search engine. Alternatively, you can use the services of a certified appraiser or antiques dealer to get assistance with identification. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of antique furniture.
- What makes furniture an antique?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2019

- Is antique furniture in style?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024Yes, antique furniture is in style.

Remember that style preferences are nothing if not fluid, meaning what's in one year may not be the next.

That way, you can select pieces that will add long-term character to your home. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of antique furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 14, 2024Many antique furniture brands are popular. While trends in collecting do vary over time, some makers consistently remain highly sought after. Among them are J. J.W.

You can also have your furniture assessed by an appraiser or antiques dealer to learn about its age. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of antique furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021There are a number of factors that can indicate if your antique furniture is valuable. When determining the value of antique furniture, consider its rarity.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Antique furniture can be worth quite a lot, particularly if it is in good quality. The rarer the piece, the higher the value.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024Whether antique furniture is making a comeback is a matter of opinion.

- 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. - 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021The best finish for antique furniture is a matter of liking. But film finish is recommended by experts as it leaves a thick coat of film on the wood surface which protects wood from water and scratches. Shellac or varnish and water base are commonly used film finishes. Find an exquisite collection of antique, new and vintage furniture on 1stDibs
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.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024To 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, 2024To 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024How old furniture that is called antique can be is typically at least 100 years. People usually call furniture between 20 and 99 years old vintage. Contemporary is the word for furniture manufactured within the last 20 years. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of antique, vintage and contemporary furniture from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024To tell antique furniture from reproduction, first check for a maker's mark. By researching the maker associated with the marking using trusted online resources, you can determine when they were active. If the company was in business 100 years ago or more, your piece may be an antique, but if the company's history began more recently, your piece is likely a reproduction. If you can't locate a marking, study the details of the furniture up close. Genuine antiques will often show tool marks and slight variations in carved details because they were typically handcrafted. Most contemporary furniture is machine-made, so you won't usually see these types of characteristics. When in doubt, have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer evaluate your furniture. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of antique furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024To tell who made your antique furniture, seek out a maker's marking. Locations of these marks vary, but they are generally in an inconspicuous location. For example, a dresser may have the mark inside a drawer or on the back, while a hallmark on a table is often on a leg or under the tabletop. Once you locate a mark, you can use trusted online resources to identify the maker and learn more about them. If you can't find a marking on your piece, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you with the identification process.
