Bench Butterfly For Sale on 1stDibs
At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal bench butterfly for your home. Each bench butterfly for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using wood, walnut and brass. There are 5 variations of the antique or vintage bench butterfly you’re looking for, while we also have 2 modern editions of this piece to choose from as well. Your living room may not be complete without a bench butterfly — find older editions for sale from the 19th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 21st Century. When you’re browsing for the right bench butterfly, those designed in Hollywood Regency and Mid-Century Modern styles are of considerable interest. You’ll likely find more than one bench butterfly that is appealing in its simplicity, but Figure Ground, Gerard Van Den Berg and Swaim produced versions that are worth a look.
How Much is a Bench Butterfly?
Prices for a bench butterfly can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, they begin at $1,200 and can go as high as $4,250, while the average can fetch as much as $2,200.
Finding the Right Benches for You
Don’t underestimate a good bench — antique and vintage benches are storage pieces, stylish accents and statement-making additional seating.
Today, benches are a great option to maximize seating in your house and outdoor space. The perfect option to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere in foyers and entryways, benches can also transform dining areas, making it possible to host a hungry family with limited space. Whether you’re sprucing up your entertaining with upholstered Empire-style benches or adding more options to a dining room that’s seen a farmhouse makeover, this humble furnishing has only become more versatile over the years. Designers have recognized the demand for a good bench, crafting the convenient seating alternative from a range of materials, including wood, iron and even concrete.
Mid-century modern benches from George Nakashima, Charlotte Perriand and the pared-down Platform bench by George Nelson for Herman Miller are classics of innovation, but maybe you’re looking for an unconventional design approach to your home's seating. Opt for something totally outside the box — an antique pine church-pew bench paired with a vintage wool throw and stationed under the mounted coatrack in your mudroom is a distinctive touch.
For your outdoor oasis, a wrought-iron patio bench is the obvious choice but not the only option. An enclosed back patio would do well to inherit a rattan bench with cushions, but it can be susceptible to weathering and should be covered or moved indoors when not in use.
Whatever your seating arrangement needs are, find vintage, new and antique benches for every space on 1stDibs.
