Questions About Vintage Desert Painting
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024
    To tell if a painting is vintage, research the artist and determine when they were active. There are mobile apps that can help you identify the artist by referencing a photo of the signature on your painting. If your painting is over 20 years old but less than 100, it would generally be considered vintage. However, experts don't often use the term vintage to describe art. If you need assistance with the dating process, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of paintings.
