The Furniture Pieces You See Everywhere (But Don’t Know Their Names)

There have been many unexpected and unintended consequences of the pandemic, that much we know. One we might not have been prepared for? A surge of interest in vintage and secondhand furniture. Says Anna Brockway, Chairish Co-Founder & President, “we're seeing continued interest in our 'ready-to-ship’ furnishings due to the supply chain snarl that is impacting the availability of newly made goods.” 1stDibs Editorial Director, Anthony Barzilay Freund, has observed the same phenomenon, noting, “we’ve seen an even stronger turn toward vintage pieces, in large part because they are on the dealer’s floor and ready to be taken home.”
The market can be daunting, though—especially as a beginner in the world of vintage furniture. Dealers can significantly mark up prices, and if you’re not sure what you’re looking at (or know if it’s legitimate), it’s enough to throw in the towel and run right back to a big-box store, cross your fingers, and hope the armchair (or sofa or coffee table) arrives in the quoted 6-8 weeks.
