EPISODE 48: Eras of Antiques: Learning to Identify Old Things


Listen Later

At least once or twice a week, I get an email from a follower with a picture of an antique piece asking me for help in dating the piece. Now, I’m no antique expert, but let me tell you, I’ve definitely developed an eye for eras and styles! If you like antiques and want to find similar pieces from the same era, I’m excited to share some of my resources to help you train your eye, too.


In this episode, you’ll hear:

Why dating styles can be tough when styles change gradually (but somehow also quickly!)

How Empire is one of my favorite eras for antiques, but I have next to no pieces in this style

About my oldest antique that I own – it’s over 200 years old!

And so much more!
