How to determine the age of your antiques—in 5 simple steps.
Hayley and Craig’s dining chairs mirror the mid-century vibe of their home in Richmond, VA. “We had to compete for them at an auction,” Hayley tells us. “We love that we can honor the period of our home with pieces made in a similar time frame.”Over time, natural wood darkens and shiny finishes lose their luster, so if an item wears arich hue and you can’t see your reflection in it, chances are it’s an antique.
Hayley and Craig say the best way to improve your ID’ing know-how is through practice. Explore your local antique malls, hit up estate sales, and scroll through online auctions.
