Q » How can you differentiate between antique and reproduction furniture joints?
30 Oct, 2025
A » To differentiate antique furniture from reproductions, examine the joints closely. Antique joints, often hand-cut, display irregularities and signs of wear, while reproductions typically feature precise, machine-cut joints. Dovetail joints in antiques show uneven spacing and tool marks, whereas reproductions exhibit uniformity and smooth finishes. Additionally, authentic antiques may have oxidation or patina around joints, indicating age, which is absent in newer reproductions.
