There are 64 variations of the antique or vintage armchair with stool you’re looking for, while we also have 4 modern editions of this piece to choose from as well. There are many kinds of the armchair with stool you’re looking for, from those produced as long ago as the 18th Century to those made as recently as the 21st Century. An armchair with stool, designed in the Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian Modern or Modern style, is generally a popular piece of furniture. Many designers have produced at least one well-made armchair with stool over the years, but those crafted by Hans J. Wegner, Ekornes Stressless and Alf Svensson are often thought to be among the most beautiful.
How Much is a Armchair With Stool?
The average selling price for an armchair with stool at 1stDibs is $3,763, while they’re typically $711 on the low end and $32,425 for the highest priced.
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 Armchair With Stool
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The most comfortable armchair is really a matter of preference. Opt for an armchair that offers firm support. Shop different armchair styles on 1stDibs.com.
- What is an accent armchair?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021An accent armchair is an armchair that has a role to serve beyond its inherent functionality. An accent chair of any kind adds visual interest to your space — your accent armchair might be part of a living room set that matches the sofa or it could contrast with the other seating, perhaps having been added to complement or accent the rest of the room. Shop a collection of antique, vintage and contemporary accent armchairs from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
- What is a sofa armchair?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024A sofa armchair is a type of armchair. Specifically, the term describes an armchair with thick cushions on its backrest and seat and a deep frame that provides plenty of space for the user to settle in and relax. As a result, it offers the comfort typically associated with a sofa in a single-seat design, which is how this type of accent chair gets its name. Find a large selection of armchairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, bar stools are taller than counter stools. The average height of counter stools is 24 inches, and they are best suited for counter height tables and kitchen islands. Barstools are typically an additional five to six inches taller to fit the height of traditional bar counters. Shop a wide selection of bar stools and counter-height stools on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024The difference between bar stools and counter stools comes down to height. Bar stools are usually between 28 and 32 inches tall to provide comfortable seating at bars and bar-height tables. To pair with kitchen counters and counter-height tables, counter stools are normally 24 to 27 inches tall. Find a large collection of dining stools on 1stDibs.
- What is a metamorphic stool?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A metamorphic stool is a piece of furniture that can be transformed into a chair by simply lowering or lifting the seat back.

- What is a swivel stool?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 26, 2021A swivel stool is typically known as a bar stool that allows the seat to rotate 360 degrees.

Shop a collection of antique and vintage bar stools from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
- What is a stepping stool?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A stepping stool is a stool with one or two steps and is self-supporting, usually foldable and portable. It is typically used when you need to retrieve items on a high shelf or in a cabinet. Shop a collection of antique, vintage and contemporary stepping stools from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
- Who invented the stool?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021The inventor behind the stool is quite murky. Stools, which are among the oldest forms of wooden furnishings, may also serve as decorative pieces. Many claim that the stool was first invented by the Varangian Guard, an elite unit of the Byzantine Army in the 10th through 14th century. Shop antique, vintage, and contemporary stools on 1stDibs.
- What is a mushroom stool?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A mushroom stool is a low seat with a tapered shape reminiscent of a mushroom. The Finnish interior designer Eero Aarnio created a famous example in 1961. He called his stool “Juttujakkara,” which means "story stool." Find a collection of mushroom stools on 1stDibs.
- What is milking stool?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023A milking stool is a stool that has three legs and a semicircular seat. The original purpose of the stool was for farmers to sit on while milking cows. However, people now use them as everyday indoor accent chairs and even as decorative accents. Find a variety of milking stools on 1stDibs.
- Is a stool a chair?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
Stools and chairs are both forms of seating, but stools often lack backs and arms.
