1930s Upholstery For Sale on 1stDibs
Find many varieties of an authentic 1930s upholstery available at 1stDibs. Each 1930s upholstery for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using fabric, upholstery and wood. Your living room may not be complete without a 1930s upholstery — find older editions for sale from the 18th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 21st Century. When you’re browsing for the right 1930s upholstery, those designed in Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern and Scandinavian Modern styles are of considerable interest. Jindrich Halabala, Mücke & Melder and UP Závody each produced at least one beautiful 1930s upholstery that is worth considering.
How Much is a 1930s Upholstery?
Prices for a 1930s upholstery can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, they begin at $185 and can go as high as $52,500, while the average can fetch as much as $3,588.
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 1930s Upholstery
- What is ikat upholstery?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Ikat is a complicated design that’s dyed into any type of fabric, including upholstery, to create a certain look. Ikat originated in Indonesia and uses a resist-dyeing technique on the yards prior to weaving the fabric. This finished product is often elaborate designs and patterns that have a hazy or fuzzy appearance rather than a crisp printed line. Shop a range of vintage and modern ikat printed garments on 1stDibs.
- How much does upholstery cost?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 22, 2019
The cost of upholstery depends on the size and condition of the piece to be covered and the material used. It will be more expensive to reupholster an antique sofa in vintage silk than to cover a new pillow in cotton.
- Is velvet upholstery durable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
Velvet is fairly durable, because it has no raised weaves or loose threads and has a flat pile.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021There are various options available for upholstery for a couch – it is a matter of preference. When selecting the upholstery, it is important to be aware of the cleanability, durability, resistance to dirt, and fading. A higher thread count ensures that the upholstery will last longer. Shop a range of antique and vintage upholstered couches on 1stDibs.
AutomatonDecember 16, 2021A very popular upholstery for couches in 2021 is 'Bouclé' fabric often utilized in a white or off-white color. Celebrity interiors and top interior designers in recent years have increased the popularity and demand for this type of fabric and now is a very hot trend that is sure to continue throughout the 2020's. We, at Automaton Modern, often use bouclé fabric on sofas by Vladimir Kagan such as the 'Cloud' sofa from Directional which curved shapes and contours are accentuated by the nubby texture of bouclé. - 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024How professionals clean upholstery varies. One popular method is steam cleaning, which involves focusing hot water vapor mist onto upholstery to loosen debris. Another common process is hot water extraction, where professionals first apply hot water and then use a suction machine to draw away dirt. On 1stDibs, explore an assortment of upholstered furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
Yes and no. Velvet can be vacuumed, but if it is stained, you need to find out what type of fiber it is made from. The different fibers must be cleaned differently, and improper cleaning can cause damage.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Like other designers working in the atomic style, Adrian Pearsall typically used fabric upholstery. Generally, the upholstery was a bright color, and solids were more common than patterns. Often, Adrian Pearsall sofas and chairs being sold today do not feature original upholstery because the fabric tends to wear out before the frame. You'll find a selection of Adrian Pearsall furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Horsehair isn't still used in upholstery. Though it was once very popular, designers stopped using it in the late early 20th century.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024Yes, steam cleaning can remove stains from upholstery. The hot temperatures and moisture associated with steam cleaning can lift away material that makes up stains. However, difficult-to-remove stains may require professional steam cleaning equipment. Shop a collection of upholstered furniture from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Yes, people had record players in the 1930s. In fact, record players began to become more common during the decade and continued to grow in popularity throughout the 1940s, 50s and 60s. Thomas Edison made the first phonograph record player in 1877. Shop a variety of record players on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023In the 1930s, phones typically looked like rotary telephones. They had either a round or square base with a numbered dial that spun when you dialed and a handset receiver with both an earpiece and a mouthpiece. A cord connected the handset to the base. Find a variety of rotary phones on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023What brides wore in the 1930s varied. Some wore long flowing dresses made of satin or silk. Long sleeves were popular and designs often featured only minimal embellishments like appliqués and beading. Because many people faced difficult financial situations due to the Great Depression, brides also sometimes simply wore their best dresses on their wedding days. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of vintage wedding dresses.
