Corner chairs became popular in England during the 18th century. With their curved or angular backs, these chairs easily fit into dressing rooms, bedchambers and other areas of the home.

A corner chair can feel more comfortable when sitting for extensive periods of time. It allows one to face different directions, making it convenient for multitasking while working from home. Original and versatile, the unique shape of a corner chair makes it ideal for occupying the corner of a room. One can also add a corner chair to a conversation area or comfortable reading nook.

When it comes to antique and vintage corner chairs, Art Nouveau corner chairs showcase the natural grain of the wood and stand out with their asymmetrical lines, while Victorian corner chairs are frequently more ornamental.

On 1stDibs, find a variety of seating options that can be mixed and matched and are suited to meet any preferred furniture style or layout idea.
