What is luxury furniture?
1 Answer
Luxury furniture is a general term for furniture of exemplary quality. Luxury furniture is seen as a long-term investment. Pieces that earn this descriptor are made with fine materials such as full-grain leather upholstery and solid wood. Designers of luxury furniture carefully select what goes into each piece, and their pieces are created under tight quality controls, often by hand. As a result, luxury furniture is intended to be long-lasting, and its design makes it as functional as it is visually appealing. Buyers should note that luxury pieces are sold at price points that reflect these characteristics. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of antique, new and vintage furniture.
