Bamboo Furniture

Flea Market Finds With The Kovels : Episode FMF-301 -- More Projects »

At the Metrolina Expo in Charlotte, N.C., host Terry Kovel discovers Victorian bamboo furniture. See the Horner style and the Brighton style and learn the differences between the two.

Pieces like this one made from real bamboo are called Brighton.

This tortoise bamboo has been darkened.

All the front pieces are seagrass, which is something you can't buy new today.

Design, condition and age determine the price of Victorian-era bamboo.

You can tell the older pieces by design and added details.

Here's a Horner-styled piece made of pine and cherry. It comes from England and dates back to 1860. It is priced at $2,800.

This small chest with mirrors from the 1850s has a lacquered top and original hardware. It's priced at $1,450.

This writing desk with a lacquered design also dates back to the 1850s. It sells for $795.
