How Much is a Leather By Classic Furniture?
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.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024The classic furniture style draws inspiration from design styles of the past, such as neoclassical and Baroque. Also called traditional style, the classic style often features ornate details, such as button-tufted upholstery, nailhead trim and carved or turned legs. Dark woods like walnut, oak and rosewood are commonly used to produce classic furniture. Explore a wide variety of traditional furniture on 1stDibs.

To clean a piece of leather furniture, first vacuum it, then wipe it down with a cloth moistened with a solution of water and mild soap or an approved leather cleaner. Wipe again with plain water, and dry with a towel.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024The most durable leather for furniture is arguably full-grain leather. Produced from the entire hide and untreated, full-grain leather is thick and strong, yet supple. Not only is the material able to hold up to the effects of regular use, but it also allows the beauty of the leather's natural grain to remain visible, enhancing the visual appeal of furniture. Explore a wide range of leather furniture on 1stDibs.

To keep the leather from drying out, apply leather conditioner every 6 to 12 months and keep the piece away from direct sun and heat sources.

- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021Shades of blue go well with brown leather furniture. Even white or beige works well.

For a warm, inviting living room, use an earthy wall color and complement your brown sofa with neutral pillows or blankets. Find a collection of antique and vintage style brown leather furniture on 1stDibs today.
