Tufted Sofas For Sale on 1stDibs

There is a range of tufted sofas for sale on 1stDibs. Each of these unique tufted sofas was constructed with extraordinary care, often using fabric, wood and animal skin. There are 2828 antique and vintage tufted sofas for sale at 1stDibs, while we also have 298 modern editions to choose from as well.

Tufted sofas are generally popular furniture pieces, but mid-century modern, modern and Scandinavian Modern styles are often sought at 1stDibs. Some tufted sofas are too large for some spaces — a variety of smaller tufted sofas, measuring 1 inches across, are available at 1stDibs. There have been many well-made tufted sofas over the years, but those made by Edward Wormley, Dunbar and Ligne Roset are often thought to be among the most beautiful.

How Much are Tufted Sofas?

Prices for tufted sofas can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, tufted sofas begin at $10 and can go as high as $160,000, while the average can fetch as much as $5,880.

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.

Questions About Tufted Sofas

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    In a tufted sofa, the upholstery fabric is tightly pulled and folded into a geometric pattern and secured by buttons. The cushions on a tufted sofa remain plump and quite comfortable over time. Shop a collection of antique, vintage and contemporary tufted sofas from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The term “tufted sofa” means a sofa that features folds and pleats in its upholstery. Tufting adds patterns to sofas and couches. A classic example is button-tufting where rows of fabric-wrapped buttons appear in indentations. On 1stDibs, shop a range of tufted sofas.
