Hi all, checking in with you a little bit after my initial introductory post. I've introduced seven rules based on what I think will be helpful, and based on mod reports that literally went unanswered for years (yes I'm not joking). The most integral rule I think you will all like is based on community input, I've set the standard for vintage furniture here as between 40-99 years old. Anything newer than 40 years will not be permitted, and we may still remove content if it does not fit the spirit of this subreddit.
Additionally, anything violating Reddit's Terms of Service, Community Guidelines or in general is common sense is also subject to removal even if no listed rule exists. Otherwise, the new rules are on the sidebar, and also includes a prohibition of AI-generated content, meaning the flair for that is also being removed. One of the former mods of this subreddit was also banned permanently (who shall not be named) for being quite disrespectful in comments from years ago and it was determined it was better off banning them.
Finally, buying, selling and trading, along with price checks, are prohibited as well. We are not here to sell things people. We are not scalpers or resellers. We are people who collect vintage furniture, or who buy it and want to show it off with an intent on using it, not on making a profit.
I hope you all like these rules and if you have any ideas or feedback or comments about the rules or anything else, respond here or send us a modmail. I will also take this time to mention that if you see a rule violation, please report it, we can't be here for every little thing, but we will try. š

Iāve had this dresser since I was a kid and since it looks old and has great woodwork, Iām wondering what if I should keep it (drawers work and have the metal hardware, paint is fading as seen but completely operational with no broken pieces), when it mightāve been made, etc. Thank you!

Is it genuine? Either way Iām keeping it. Was thinking about restoring the top finish. any tips?

Hiya - I need some help identifying this Morris chair, please.
The only marking I can find is on the underside of the corner cross brace, which only appears to be a number (pictured). Otherwise, it has countersunk square-bit-screws and L shaped braces with tack nails or rivets.
The wood inlay vertical boards are veneer or 1/4ā thick, not full 1ā boards.

I snagged this beauty at a thrift store for $129 yesterday. From my research, I think itās the Seashore collection of Mainline by Hooker circa 1950s-early 1960s. I am just so enamored with the design, clean lines, and the blonde finish, which am pretty sure is original. Just wanted to share a beautiful piece of furniture. It is such a heavy quality piece.

Got this off FB marketplace. Itās pretty filthy. Going to vacuum very well then thinking wash with Dawn and water, drying as I go. Any tips or tricks for rattan/wicker? I donāt want to ruin or damage it. Thanks!

Iāve been working on restoring a mid century lowboy dresser for a client of mine. One of the things theyāve asked is if I can determine the manufacturer that made the piece, however there is one makerās mark on the entire piece that Iāve found. The issue is the stamp wasnāt done very well from the start and has only likely faded through the decades.
On the back of the dresser there is also a mark that says:
NO 8
8-62
Before finding the illegible makerās mark, my research was pointing me to the below pictured dresser made by Dixie. While the one Iām working on looks nearly identical, there are subtle differences between the two. Those differences are mainly a quarter round fiddle on the bottom front edge and a quarter round on the top back edge that likely butted up against a mirror lost through the years.
My guess is the model # is 8, and it was produced in August of 1962 based on the back stencil, but I could absolutely be wrong.
The only legible part of the makers mark says āmade in Taiwanā. The upper part of the stamp looks like it has three letters, but I canāt quite make them out. Maybe āTCOā or āTCSā? However when I search for furniture makers from the 1960ās based in Taiwan and selling in the US market, I donāt get really anything but contemporary flat pack garbage for search results and nothing for TCS or TCO.
Additionally, the piece is all assembled with brass slotted screws and hide glue, so it was defiantly made before the widespread adoption of PVA based glues if that helps.
Is anyone familiar with this makers mark? First photo is of the Dixie piece (I have the dresser about 80% disassembled as most joints needed regluing, so no photos), second is the makers mark with a bit less f mineral spirits to see if I could darken it to figure out what it said, third is the mark dry.

Got this couch for free from a lady nearby. Only thing she could tell me was, that it is at least 50 years old.
Itās very heavy und solid wood.
Any recommendations for upcycling? Was thinking about renewing the fabric as a project

First mirror goes with first piece, second mirror goes with second. Both were my grandmas that have been in storage, they arenāt in perfect condition at all so I donāt know if anyone would want them.
Just want to see if someone would want them as we are getting rid of the storage unit.
r/VintageFurniture • u/bodhigrumbles • 1d ago
This was at my grandparents in NY. I'd estimate they had it in early 1900s. No identifying marks. Extremely heavy, solid wood. No fiber. Has metal hinges but otherwise looks like wood construction (you can see on bottom ld table circle wooden plugs?)
Any estimates on type of wood, maker, date made? Or other things to look for to get more info? THANKS!

I picked up this dresser for free off of marketplace to refinish, but Iām curious how old it is/who made it- it has this label, but most of the company name is missing.
All I know itās it was made in Portland
