Why is vintage Danish furniture so expensive?

How do I find a picture from a piece of furniture?
A new Google search page will open, similar to before, but there will be a little camera icon in the search bar. Click that camera, then either add the photo’s link or upload the product photo if you saved it to your desktop. Click search, then you’ll get your results.
How to determine the age of a piece of furniture?
So when trying to determine the age you have to consider as much as you can with the piece. When I’m trying to identify the age of a particular piece of furniture, I always start with the drawers. Just the basic construction of a drawer will reveal so much about the true identity of a piece.
How can you tell if a piece of furniture has been cut?
Straight saw marks also indicate an old piece. If the wood shows circular or arc-shaped marks, it was cut by a circular saw, not in use until about 1860. Exact symmetry is another sign that the piece was machine-made. On handmade furniture, rungs, slats, spindles, rockers, and other small-diameter components are not uniform.
How do I find out who made my furniture?
You may come across old furniture handed down through your own family, or at a resale or antique shop. The maker may seem a mystery at first, because the original owner or maker of the piece is not around to tell you about the furniture.
How do I know if my furniture is antique or machine made?
Examine the level of work that went into the furniture from the joinery, finishing, knobs, and more. Study the materials used from the wood, fabric, and screws. If you take all these factors into consideration, you may be able to figure out on your own if have an antique or a machine-made reproduction.
