Questions About The Couch
- How can I identify my couch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024To identify your couch, look for the maker's markings. Manufacturers choose different places for markings.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 3, 2024The difference between a davenport and a couch comes down to special features. A couch or sofa is an upholstered piece of furniture designed to seat two or more people, while a davenport is a large couch or sofa that can be used as a bed or one that folds out into a bed.
A couch is occasionally called a davenport when the furnishing in question is a large comfortable sofa that can double as a bed or can be converted into a bed. The name comes from a now-defunct New England furniture manufacturer, A.H. Davenport & Company, which was established in Cambridge, Massachusetts in the late 19th century. Davenport furnished the homes of the richest Americans during what we now call the Gilded Age.
In the 1880s, thanks largely to the Industrial Revolution, the American economy started booming, and when it did, it created a whole new supply of millionaires. Firms like the Duveen Brothers supplied these families with European decor, and manufacturers such as A.H. Davenport & Company furnished their mansions. The term davenport became a synonym for any sofa that looked like the one produced by the popular Massachusetts company.
Find vintage sofas and sofa beds on 1stDibs. - What is a single couch called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A single couch may also be called a settee. It is a long seat made for more than one person. Settees are typically small seats that can fit two or more people, but they aren’t as wide as couches or sofas. A settee is more intimate and offers more sitting room than an armchair. Settees often have a backrest for optimal support and are frequently upholstered. On 1stDibs, shop a range of antique and vintage sofas and settees today.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021The best sectional couch is likely going to be a matter of preference. All kinds of sectional sofas have been made over the years. A traditional sofa is typically a long upholstered seat that features a back and arms and is intended for two or more people, whereas a sectional sofa consists of multiple pieces that can be arranged in several different layouts. While a conventional couch or sofa can definitely seat a fixed number of houseguests, sectional sofas allow for customizing. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of antique sectional sofas today.
