Question: How can you tell the age of an antique chair?

One of the greatest telltale signs of a chairs age include the markings or tags left by the manufacturer. Modern upholstered chairs may feature a tag listing both manufacturer and serial number or design name, which can be looked up on the manufacturers website or on collector websites.

What age does furniture become vintage?

Most antique dealers consider an item to be vintage if it is at least 40 years old.

How can you find out if something is worth money?

Visit an online database. Use your preferred search engine, type in your item, and then include the word database. For instance, if you search “antiques database” there are many results that list prices of collectibles. Kovels is an online database that offers a free subscription to its pricing guide.
