There are many kinds of the bench for upholstery you’re looking for, from those produced as long ago as the 18th Century to those made as recently as the 21st Century. A bench for upholstery is a generally popular piece of furniture, but those created in mid-century modern, modern and Hollywood Regency styles are sought with frequency. A well-made bench for upholstery has long been a part of the offerings for many furniture designers and manufacturers, but those produced by Edward Wormley, Milo Baughman and Misaya are consistently popular.

How Much is a Bench For Upholstery?

A bench for upholstery can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $3,000, while the lowest priced sells for $0 and the highest can go for as much as $84,290.

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 Bench For Upholstery
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Ikat 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.
  • 1stDibs 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.

    Velvet is fairly durable, because it has no raised weaves or loose threads and has a flat pile.

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021
    There are various options available for upholstery for a couch – it is a matter of preference.

    A very popular upholstery for couches in 2021 is 'Bouclé' fabric often utilized in a white or off-white color.

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.

    How 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, 2022
    Like 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, 2021
    Horsehair isn't still used in upholstery. Though it was once very popular, designers stopped using it in the late early 20th century.
