Vintage Diamond Chair For Sale on 1stDibs

Find many varieties of an authentic vintage diamond chair available at 1stDibs. Each vintage diamond chair for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using metal, steel and fabric. You’ve searched high and low for the perfect vintage diamond chair — we have versions that date back to the 20th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 20th Century are available. A vintage diamond chair, designed in the Mid-Century Modern style, is generally a popular piece of furniture. You’ll likely find more than one vintage diamond chair that is appealing in its simplicity, but Harry Bertoia, Knoll and Conant Ball produced versions that are worth a look.

How Much is a Vintage Diamond Chair?

A vintage diamond chair can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $1,525, while the lowest priced sells for $600 and the highest can go for as much as $7,500.

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 Vintage Diamond Chair
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    A vintage diamond — as in, “a vintage diamond engagement ring” — refers to a ring that is at least 20 years old. Antique rings were made more than 100 years ago. Vintage diamond jewelry is not old enough to qualify as antique but it is at least two decades old. Find a collection of antique and vintage diamond jewelry on 1stDibs today.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    Italian-American designer Harry Bertoia made the Diamond chair in 1952, and his design went into production in 1983. The original chair featured a woven steel wire back with angled wings resting on angled wire legs. Find a collection of Harry Bertoia Diamond chairs on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The diamond chair was made using welded steel with rods in either chrome or bonded rilsan. The chair was scratch, chip, and chemical resistant. You can shop a selection of Bertoia Diamond chairs from some of the world’s top enthusiasts on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Many factors like wood, construction, and patina come into play when you date a vintage chair.

On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of vintage chairs from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024
    Whether vintage diamond rings are worth more varies. Many factors influence the potential selling price of vintage and contemporary rings, including their maker, style and condition. The type of precious metal and the diamond's color, clarity, cut and carat weight will also impact the ring's price. Explore a wide variety of vintage diamond rings on 1stDibs.
  • 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.
  • 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 ExpertNovember 4, 2024
    To identify a vintage Gunlocke chair, examine the legs. Most pieces will feature a tag that bears the brand name. On antique and early vintage chairs, the label will usually be made of paper or leather, while riveted brass tags appear on later vintage and contemporary chairs. Once you've confirmed that Gunlocke is the maker by checking the tag, browse the company's catalogues, which are available online, to determine approximately when it was made. Some tags may include a style or color number that will expedite the search. If your chair is 20 to 99 years old, it is vintage, while pieces that are 100 years old or older are antiques. You may wish to enlist the help of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer when identifying your chair. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of Gunlocke chairs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    To tell if a vintage diamond ring is real, you can first research the maker using trusted online resources. Hallmarks found on the inside of the band can provide a starting point for identifying a maker. By reading about the maker, you can find out if they typically produced fine jewelry or costume jewelry. If the maker of your ring was a fine jewelry maker, your ring is more likely to contain a real diamond. Another option is to take your ring to a certified appraiser or experienced jeweler who can assist in identifying the stone. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of vintage diamond rings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 6, 2024
    The Bertoia Diamond chair's weight varies depending on its upholstery. However, the uncovered wire frame weighs around 9 kilograms, or 19.8 pounds. Part of the iconic lounge chair's appeal is its lightweight design, which makes it easy to move around outdoor spaces. Shop a selection of Harry Bertoia Diamond chairs on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    To tell if a Bertoia Diamond chair is real, examine its details closely. First, look at the corners of the backrest on the wire frame. An authentic chair will have gently rounded corners, so sharp points or rough areas may indicate a replica. Next, measure the dowels that form the base. Genuine chairs have dowels that are exactly 0.5 inches in diameter. Reproductions tend to feature significantly thicker dowels. If you're still uncertain about authenticity, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you. Find a collection of Bertoia Diamond chairs on 1stDibs.
