Sitting Room Chair For Sale on 1stDibs
At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal sitting room chair for your home. Each sitting room chair for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using wood, fabric and metal. Your living room may not be complete without a sitting room chair — find older editions for sale from the 18th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. When you’re browsing for the right sitting room chair, those designed in Mid-Century Modern, Hollywood Regency and Neoclassical styles are of considerable interest. Many designers have produced at least one well-made sitting room chair over the years, but those crafted by De Sede, Frank Gehry and Grosfeld House are often thought to be among the most beautiful.
How Much is a Sitting Room Chair?
A sitting room chair can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $2,821, while the lowest priced sells for $80 and the highest can go for as much as $8,500.
Finding the Right Seating for You
With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality antique and vintage seating cannot be overstated.
Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably.
Among the earliest standard seating furniture were stools. Egyptian stools, for example, designed for one person with no seat back, were x-shaped and typically folded to be tucked away. These rudimentary chairs informed the design of Greek and Roman stools, all of which were a long way from Sori Yanagi's Butterfly stool or Alvar Aalto's Stool 60. In the 18th century and earlier, seats with backs and armrests were largely reserved for high nobility.
The seating of today is more inclusive but the style and placement of chairs can still make a statement. Antique desk chairs and armchairs designed in the style of Louis XV, which eventually included painted furniture and were often made of rare woods, feature prominently curved legs as well as Chinese themes and varied ornaments. Much like the thrones of fairy tales and the regency, elegant lounges crafted in the Louis XV style convey wealth and prestige. In the kitchen, the dining chair placed at the head of the table is typically reserved for the head of the household or a revered guest.
Of course, with luxurious vintage or antique furnishings, every chair can seem like the best seat in the house. Whether your preference is stretching out on a plush sofa, such as the Serpentine, designed by Vladimir Kagan, or cozying up in a vintage wingback chair, there is likely to be a comfy classic or contemporary gem for you on 1stDibs.
With respect to the latest obsessions in design, cane seating has been cropping up everywhere, from sleek armchairs to lounge chairs, while bouclé fabric, a staple of modern furniture design, can be seen in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Hollywood Regency furniture styles.
Admirers of the sophisticated craftsmanship and dark woods frequently associated with mid-century modern seating can find timeless furnishings in our expansive collection of lounge chairs, dining chairs and other items — whether they’re vintage editions or alluring official reproductions of iconic designs from the likes of Hans Wegner or from Charles and Ray Eames. Shop our inventory of Egg chairs, designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen, the Florence Knoll lounge chair and more.
No matter your style, the collection of unique chairs, sofas and other seating on 1stDibs is surely worthy of a standing ovation.
Questions About Sitting Room Chair
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021A sitting room is a living room in the house where people sit. It is alternatively called a lounge, drawing room, front room, and family room — it’s a central room that binds the house into one unit. You can find a range of furniture, rugs and carpets, seating, and decorative objects to enhance the appearance of your sitting room on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022How you sit in an Ekstrem chair is largely a matter of personal preference. Part of the fun of the design is the fact that it encourages you to try out a variety of positions. You can face the back and slip your legs through the opening or turn the other way and rest your feet on the floor. Also, try propping one leg up on one of the bending arms. Shop a wide range of lounge chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022How you sit in a plantation chair is largely a matter of personal preference. One option is to position your spine along the sloped back and rest your feet on the floor. Some people add a bolster or throw pillow for comfort. Plantation chairs also pair well with footstools. You'll find a collection of plantation chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The best chairs for sitting all day are Ergonometric Office chairs. Some of the more popular models include the Herman Miller Embody and the Steelcase Leap chair. Find a variety of chairs for sale on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021If you have a job that forces you to sit at a computer all day, then you must invest in a good ergonomic office chair. While there is no universally perfect fit chair for all, a good chair should help you maintain a neutral pose, feet flat on the ground, knees slightly higher than hips and hips, shoulders and ears all lined up with each other. And a good chair comes with multiple levers for adjusting heights and angles.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021An ideal office chair is the one that provides the utmost comfort during long working hours. The chair that offers proper support for your back while adjusting to meet the desk's height is the perfect pick. During long sitting hours, there is a good chance of experiencing back pain and discomfort. So, the best office chair is the one that is adjustable, perfectly cushioned with proper back support and armrests. Find a collection of antique and vintage office chairs from Herman Miller, Knoll and more on 1stDibs today.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
Dining room chairs with arms require more space than armless ones.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021For a living room, there are many types of chairs that can qualify as “comfortable” depending on individual preferences. When choosing a comfortable chair, consider the seat, which supports your weight, the back, which provides lumbar support, and the arms, which are especially important if you use the chair for long hours. Comfortable chairs are generally popular furniture pieces, but Mid-Century Modern, Modern and Art Deco styles are often sought at 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Dining room chairs with arms are simply called armchairs. They are not to be confused with armchairs used in seating areas. A dining chair without arms is a side chair. You'll find a collection of antique and vintage dining chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, your dining room table and chairs do not need to match. Coordinated colors and styles can add visual flair to a space, and is a great way to show off your personal style. Shop a collection of dining room tables and chairs from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
The seat of a dining room chair is typically 18 inches from the floor and 16 to 20 inches wide.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023What kind of chairs you put in a living room is up to you. Many people furnish living rooms with accent chairs, which are crafted with both comfort and style in mind. If you have a desk in your living room, you may want to place a stationary or rolling desk chair in front of it. Since there are no rules for decorating, you're free to use dining chairs, benches and stools for living room seating. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of chairs from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023To protect your woven dining chairs, try a fabric protection spray designed for the specific type of material. Follow the application directions printed on the bottle for best results. Also, wipe your chairs clean after every meal with a slightly damp cloth to reduce the risk of stains. On 1stDibs, find a range of woven dining chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023To choose an accent chair for a living room, first measure the floor space available for your chair and the height of the seats of the other furniture in the room. You'll generally want to select a chair that will fit your floor plan and has a seat height that is no more than 4 inches taller or shorter than the other furnishings in the seating area. Next, consider the style and color scheme of your room, looking for chairs that will match. Once you have narrowed down the options, compare materials and prices to select the chair that will suit your preferences, coordinate with the rest of your space and fit your budget. Explore a wide range of accent chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023What big living room chairs are called depends on their style. A chair that has an integrated footrest is a lounge chair or a chaise longue, while one with a tall back that curves in at the top is a wingback chair. Chairs that feature footrests that raise and lower with the touch of a button or pull of a lever are recliners. A chair-and-a-half is an extra-wide living room chair with a deep seat. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of living room chairs.
