How old does an antique chair have to be?

Or why not add some opulence to your hallway with a French antique slipper chair? Stylish, bijou, and cute, this chair will be the perfect spot to tie your laces before heading out. And for your dining space, a set of gorgeous bentwood Thonet early 20th-century chairs epitomises a classic chair-making technique while elevating your gastronomic experiences.

How do I know if my 20th century chair is valuable?

Early to mid-century 20th century chairs can be highly sought-after pieces of furniture. William Birch, Shapland & Petter, and George Walton classic all command high prices when they come to market. However, even more, modest examples can be worthy of financial investment. Look for imperfect joints in a chair frame. This demonstrates age and a hand-crafted chair. Look for the mark of a maker. This could be an engraving, initials, or a brand mark. While it may sound counterintuitive, look for irregularities. If something seems too perfect, it probably is. Dovetail joints and glue should be present. And feel the wood of the chair. If gnarly with a bit of character, then you’ve got your hands on an older 1900s chair example.

1900s chairs are beautifully made, durable and resilient. They have buckets of charm and make for wonderful statement pieces in a modern home. Explore our collection and support local businesses when shopping at Vinterior.
