This is one of the most stunning and exciting redos we've done to date.The color or pattern of a chair's fabric often indicates its era. Chairs have been through numerous style changes over the years, decades and even centuries. Some chair designs are so classic or sought after that they've been reproduced, which may make it difficult to determine if that vintage or antique chair is an original or a more modern knockoff. Others feature upholstery fabric that pinpoints a particular era, such as olive green velvety fabric with large printed flowers from the 1960s through 1970s.
Close inspection of the fabric or bottom of a chair typically reveals clues as to its age or origin. Antique chairs are those made more than 100 years ago, while vintage chairs span the time up to the 1970s. Fabric The fabric or upholstery on a chair is often the giveaway as to its age. If the fabric is an old tattered hand-stitched floral and white print that looks like it's nearly a century old, it likely is -- fabric patterns tend to follow trends, even on furniture, so a print that seems completely foreign and unfamiliar, showing extreme wear and of unknown material, likely is actually old and not a reproduction. On the other hand, a barkcloth-style upholstery fabric that looks brand new, featuring an atomic boomerang or tiki pattern, may be from the 1950s, may have been reupholstered more recently, or may be a reproduction with a reproduction fabric. In this case, the fabric alone is not enough to determine the chair's age. Seat Filling An upholstered chair also has a substance behind the fabric to give the chair its softness and comfort.
This filling, like the common fabrics of any era, has changed over time. Armchairs made after 1830 often have coiled springs, a filling using available substances such as feathers, and webbing or padding beneath the fabric. In the 20th century, synthetic foams replaced the more natural stuffing in many chairs. Maker's Information The underside of the chair often offers the best clues as to its general age. Look for a tag with manufacturing information, including a name, model number or even a year for chairs made in the last 80 years or so. If the tag features a website address, that's a huge clue that it is a modern reproduction. If there is no tag, look for a stamp or even handwritten information on the seat bottom, in case the chair was handmade. The Internet has information on many manufacturers and chair artisans, so you may be able to look this name up online. Hardware The way the chair is assembled is a big clue to its age. If modern phillips-head screws are on the chair, holding legs or the seat assembly in place, it's likely a modern chair.
Slotted screws are somewhat older. Chair rails or the support assembly beneath the seat did not have screws at all on chairs made in the 18th century, whereas newer ones usually do, in the corner brackets. Some modern chairs made by artisans may not have screws either, but such chairs are likely marked with the maker's name somewhere beneath the seat.
