Mouton Bench For Sale on 1stDibs

Choose from an assortment of styles, material and more with respect to the mouton bench you’re looking for at 1stDibs.

When you’re browsing for the right mouton bench, those designed in Baroque styles are of considerable interest. A well-made mouton bench has long been a part of the offerings for many furniture designers and manufacturers, but those produced by John Widdicomb are consistently popular.

How Much is a Mouton Bench?

A mouton bench can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $3,529, while the lowest priced sells for $895 and the highest can go for as much as $8,850.

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.
