Questions About Vintage Bamboo Furniture
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

The exterior can also be refinished by sanding off dirt and grime and repainting the piece. You’ll find a large collection of bamboo items from many of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, bamboo furniture is incredibly durable and as long as it’s cared for properly, it can last a long time. In fact, bamboo can be more resistant to damage than hardwoods, making it a popular choice for new or vintage furniture purchases. Shop a collection of Bamboo furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The first step in determining if an item is vintage bamboo is to first make sure it’s bamboo. Bamboo is inflexible, so if there are curved shapes in the design it is actually rattan, not bamboo. Your next step is to understand the style of the piece of furniture, the brand, and look for telltale signs that it is an authentic piece from that brand. Shop a range of antique and modern bamboo furniture on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
    To identify bamboo furniture, use a magnifying glass to examine the grain pattern on your piece. Bamboo has a distinct grain consisting of short, straight lines and small nodes running in the same direction across a surface. Whirled or irregular grain patterns typically indicate that a piece is wood, not bamboo. If you wish to learn who produced your furniture, search the item for a maker's mark and then use trusted online resources to identify the manufacturer. Should you need any help with the identification process, consider using the services of a certified appraiser or experienced dealer. On 1stDibs, find a collection of bamboo furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    Yes, bamboo is suitable for some outdoor furniture. However, you should only place bamboo pieces designed for outdoor use outside. Caring for and maintaining bamboo outdoor furniture is important for helping it stand the test of time. Shop a range of antique, new and vintage bamboo furniture on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between rattan and bamboo furniture comes down to materials. Bamboo is a wood-like material derived from perennial grasses in the Bambusoideae subfamily, while rattan is a stiff material made from vines in the Calamoideae subfamily. Generally, bamboo is heavier and less flexible than rattan, making for weightier furniture. Due to its flexibility, rattan can be woven into wicker or used in its raw form to build furniture. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of rattan and bamboo furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    It varies how long outdoor bamboo furniture lasts. The quality of the craftsmanship, how much weather exposure pieces receive and how well you care for it will all impact the lifespan of furniture made of bamboo. Antique and vintage bamboo furniture can help introduce an air of relaxation in any space, and pairs well with chinoiserie decor and a range of porcelain decorative objects. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of bamboo furniture.

    One way to tell if wrought iron furniture is vintage is to look for markings that indicate who produced it. Markings may appear on the underside, back and legs of wrought iron tables and chairs.

Salterini and Richard Schultz for Knoll — is often found among the offerings of 1stDibs dealers.

    In colder regions, wrought iron, which can be left outdoors all year round, was the material of choice in outdoor furniture designs for the Atomic Age.

  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024
    To identify vintage Woodard patio furniture, look for the maker's markings. On three-piece sets, you'll typically find paper labels that bear the brand name underneath the cushions. Sofa and chair frames may also feature welded-on metal labels bearing the brand name. For wrought iron pieces, check the frame for an embossed "Woodard" mark. Once you find the markings, you can use trusted online resources to determine a rough idea of the age of your piece. Anything produced more than 20 years ago, but less than a century ago, is vintage. Pieces more than 100 years old are antique, while those made within the last two decades are contemporary. If you're unable to locate any markings, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer can assist you with identification and dating. On 1stDibs, explore an assortment of Woodard furniture.
