Table And Armed Chairs For Sale on 1stDibs

An assortment of table and armed chairs is available at 1stDibs. Frequently made of wood, fabric and metal, all table and armed chairs available were constructed with great care. Table and armed chairs have been produced for many years, with earlier versions available from the 19th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 21st Century. Table and armed chairs are generally popular furniture pieces, but mid-century modern, modern and Scandinavian Modern styles are often sought at 1stDibs. Table and armed chairs have been a part of the life’s work for many furniture makers, but those produced by American of Martinsville, Osvaldo Borsani and Drexel are consistently popular.

How Much are Table And Armed Chairs?

Prices for table and armed chairs can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, table and armed chairs begin at $1,995 and can go as high as $11,100, while the average can fetch as much as $5,500.

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.

    How far a table should be from a chair is 10 to 12 inches. Keep in mind that the distance is from the tabletop to the seat of the chair. To determine what chairs to buy, subtract 10 or 12 inches from the height of your table and look for pieces of that seat height. If you're looking for a table to go with certain chairs, measure the height from the floor to the seat and then add 10 or 12 inches to find out what table height to buy. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of dining tables.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    Many chairs can work with a Tulip table. The Tulip armchair, for example, was part of Eero Saarinen’s Pedestal collection of armless chairs, stools, Tulip side tables and more. The series, produced for Knoll, was a mid-century modernist exercise in simplifying, and Tulip chairs, with their curvy contours, match Tulip side tables and Pedestal dining tables very well. However, you can also try other mid-century modern chairs to see what works best in your space. Shop a collection of mid-century modern dining chairs on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

In 1944, Noguchi created the first version of his classic glass-topped coffee table as a riff on a piece he designed for former MoMA president, A. Conger Goodyear, a few years earlier.
