Best Answer

Without a paper trail or oral history of the piece since its origin -- its provenance -- the experts are left to guess at the age.

Factors include:

  • Style of the piece
  • Quality of the fabrication
  • Origin of the wood used, both primary (seen) and secondary (unseen)
  • Hardware and joining nails or lack of them
  • Cultural details
  • Any evidence of a maker or distributor

A combination of these factors can often date a piece within about 10 years.
