I often come across some useful, handy design and decor resources full of tips and tricks that I always love to pass on to my readers too! Here’s one I just discovered on Chair Back Styles!

I love this Decor Tip on chair back styles!: Learn the AGE of a chair by the style of it's back! Good to know so you DON'T OVERPAY at auctions and antique stores!

Design Tip / Chair Back Styles

If you’re like me and you love to shop at antique auctions, antique stores, Restores and thrift stores it’s useful to know the style, period and value of an antique or vintage chair!

Spot the period and style of a chair by the unique style of it’s back! ( I’m sure you recognize some of these!)

When you know this info, you’ll easily be able to spot a great deal and not overpay.

Or even if you are considering a reproduction chair, at least you’ll know the terminology!

Enjoy!
