At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal sculptural sofa for your home. A sculptural sofa — often made from
fabric,
wood and
upholstery — can elevate any home. If you’re shopping for a sculptural sofa, we have 232 options in-stock, while there are 12 modern editions to choose from as well. Your living room may not be complete without a sculptural sofa — find older editions for sale from the 20th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 21st Century. Each sculptural sofa bearing
Mid-Century Modern,
Modern or
Scandinavian Modern hallmarks is very popular. A well-made sculptural sofa has long been a part of the offerings for many furniture designers and manufacturers, but those produced by
Adrian Pearsall,
Vladimir Kagan and
Craft Associates are consistently popular.
A sculptural sofa can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $6,200, while the lowest priced sells for $560 and the highest can go for as much as $65,003.
Vintage couches and antique sofas have anchored living rooms for generations. The pieces most sought after today carry the deep-buttoned tufting of a Chesterfield or the low, sculptural ease of mid-century modern and Hollywood Regency design.
Styles to Know
Rolled arms and tufted backs point to Mid-Century Modern or Hollywood Regency pieces, while tight backs and turned legs skew more traditional. Velvet is enjoying a renewed moment across most of these silhouettes; see our velvet chesterfield sofa trend report for examples. A mid-century modern coffee table within reach and a vintage mirror nearby round out the seating area.
How to Choose the Right Vintage Sofa
A sofa's frame and upholstery history can be difficult to judge from photographs alone. Ask a seller for more information when a listing doesn't show the fabric or joinery clearly, and confirm whether the upholstery is original or has been redone. Each piece comes from a vetted 1stDibs seller, with era, designer and condition detailed, and the 1stDibs Promise stands behind every purchase.
