Find 214 antique and vintage seating on wheels at 1stDibs now, or shop our selection of 47 modern versions for a more contemporary example of this long-cherished furniture. Seating on wheels have long been popular, with older editions for sale from the 18th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 21st Century. Seating on wheels made by mid-century modern designers — as well as those associated with modern — are very popular at 1stDibs. Pieter Compernol, Stephanie Grusenmeyer and Florian Gypser, Charles and Ray Eames and Arflex each produced beautiful seating on wheels that are worth considering.
How Much are Seating On Wheels?
The average selling price for at 1stDibs is $2,987, while they’re typically $325 on the low end and $24,000 highest priced.
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 Seating On Wheels
- What is a casino wheel?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A casino wheel is a round spinning object used for various games of chance. They get their name from the fact that you usually find them in casinos. The most common type of casino wheel is the roulette wheel. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of casino wheels.
- Can I put wheels on a bookcase?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, you can generally put wheels on a bookcase. However, the wheels that you choose must be strong enough to support both the weight of the bookcase and the total weight of all the books you intend to store on it. As a result, industrial-strength metal casters are usually the best option for the job. You'll find a large collection of bookcases on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Ship’s wheels are usually made from wood, and often feature eight or six spokes with curved handles to allow for comfortable adjustment of the wheel.

- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A table with wheels is often called a tea trolley, tea cart or bar cart.

On 1stDibs, shop a selection of cantilever chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021The price of an old spinning wheel depends on the condition the wheel is in today. A fully cleaned, polished, and restored spinning wheel can fetch $300 and more.
