How to verify an Antique?
There is a bed that Im very interested in,
its description states that the bed is circa 1895 and is imported from France. I can't personally inspect the bed because its located in another city. What can I do to make sure its authentic? Im so worried that i'll buy it then discover that its a reproduction & be heart broken.
Sorry but your best bet is physical inspection. I've seen reproductions that are so good that even an insurance appraiser was fooled. There are ways to re-create furniture making techniques from that era, such as doweling, additives to stain and sealers and even antique hardware that can be purchased to make a piece appear of the period. You can ask for the history or ownership of the piece, but often that doesn't help when someone purchased the item from e-bay, or a dealer or even a garage sale. You can ask for the manufacturer and research them to see where & when they were in business and how they manufactured furniture and what types they made. You can pay to send a representative in that city to inspect it, but since you are basing your decision on whether it is indeed a bona fide antique, you could be wasting your $$ if it is just a great re-pro.
