How do I tell an authentic vintage design piece from a reproduction?

Look for the original manufacturer's label, stamp or serial number — Knoll, Cassina and Fritz Hansen all used distinctive markings. Check material quality and joinery, then compare against period catalogues. A specialist dealer can help you identify the hallmarks specific to each manufacturer.

Which designers are most sought-after on the vintage market?

Arne Jacobsen, Charles and Ray Eames, Verner Panton, Eero Saarinen, Joe Colombo and Gae Aulenti rank among the most collected names. Original editions by these designers command high prices both at auction and through specialist antique dealers.

What should I budget for vintage design furniture?

Expect to pay £150–£600 for a good production chair, £800–£3,000 for a recognised manufacturer piece, and considerably more for original editions by major designers. Condition, rarity and the presence of the original manufacturer's label are the strongest value drivers.

How do I care for a 1960s teak or rosewood piece?

Wipe with a slightly damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners or prolonged sun exposure. Applying a natural oil — teak oil or beeswax — once or twice a year is sufficient to nourish the wood and preserve its original appearance.

Can vintage design furniture be shipped internationally?

Yes. Most professional dealers offer appropriate packaging and shipping solutions, including to destinations across Europe and beyond. Ask the seller directly about methods, lead times and transit insurance before completing your purchase.
