Thin Sofas For Sale on 1stDibs

There is a range of thin sofas for sale on 1stDibs. The range of distinct thin sofas — often made from fabric, wood and metal — can elevate any home. Find 103 antique and vintage thin sofas at 1stDibs now, or shop our selection of 34 modern versions for a more contemporary example of this long-cherished furniture. Thin sofas have been produced for many years, with earlier versions available from the 18th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 21st Century. There are many kinds of thin sofas to choose from, but at 1stDibs, Mid-Century Modern, Modern and Scandinavian Modern thin sofas are of considerable interest. Large thin sofas can prove too imposing for some spaces, so the smaller thin sofas available at 1stDibs — each spanning 24 inches in width — may make for a better choice. There have been many well-made thin sofas over the years, but those made by Dainelli Studio, Driade and Milo Baughman are often thought to be among the most beautiful.

How Much are Thin Sofas?

Thin sofas can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price at 1stDibs is $5,595, while the lowest priced sells for $1,700 and the highest can go for as much as $86,165.

Finding the Right Sofas for You

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.
