Finding the Right Corner Chairs for You

In addition to being functional, chairs can be works of art, and while antique and vintage corner chairs often make for a guaranteed conversation piece in your living room, these structures offer convenient seating for a range of spaces.

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.

Questions About Vintage Corner Chairs
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A corner chair is designed to fit into the corner of a room and be pulled out when additional seating is needed. Some corner chairs were also used at desks because they allowed more freedom of movement for the sitter. Corner chairs were also called roundabout chairs, smoking chairs, barber’s chairs, writing chairs and desk chairs. Shop a collection of corner chairs from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Many factors like wood, construction, and patina come into play when you date a vintage chair. If you can’t find a maker’s mark or any other kind of identifying mark on the piece, consult a furniture encyclopedia or a certified expert. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of vintage chairs from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023
    To be vintage, a chair typically needs to be at least 20 years old, while a chair older than 100 years is an antique. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique, vintage and modern dining chairs from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To know if your vintage Eames chair is real, check for a reclining mechanism. On original chairs, the back had a permanent reclined position, so no mechanism is necessary. Also, a vintage piece is around 32 inches high, while later reproductions are normally bigger. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of expertly vetted Eames chairs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    To tell how old a vintage chair is, first try and locate the manufacturer's label, tag or mark. Typically, identifying markings and tags appear under cushions or on the undersides of chairs. You may find that the date of manufacturing appears on the label or tag. If not, check trusted online resources to find out when the manufacturer was in business to make an estimate of the age. When in doubt, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or antiques dealer to help you date a particular chair. Find an assortment of antique, vintage and modern chairs on 1stDibs.
