Vintage furniture pieces are full of distinct styles and major design trends. Some of the distinct trends include Art Deco (1920s-30s), which incorporated geometric shapes and bold colours, Italian Mid-Century (1940s-50s) which is characterised by it’s simple lines and natural materials, and then Mid Century Modern (1950s-60s) which includes newer materials, plastic and a minimalistic design. Old furniture uses higher quality wood, such as Mahogany, Walnut and Oak.
You can also tell the authenticity of a piece by its condition and wear. If a piece has notable wear in prominent parts of used areas, it’s more likely an older piece. To separate an authentic piece from a remake, look for labels and stamps, many designers have their labels on vintage furniture.
