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 Two Tone Chair
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Two tone jewelry is jewelry that contains two different types of metals or two different types of colors. A popular two tone jewelry combination is white gold and yellow gold.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    When people mention two-tone in reference to watches, they’re referring to the combination of gold and steel. This mix of contrasting metals is quite attractive and desirable. Rolex refers to their two tone watches by the name Rolesor and they have two varieties: the traditional yellow-gold and stainless steel and their version of rose gold, Everose gold and stainless steel. Shop iconic vintage and contemporary Rolex watches from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    A two-tone ring is a ring constituted of two different metals. The most common combinations are gold and platinum. However, a two-tone ring can feature any combination of yellow, rose, or white gold. Shop a range of antique and vintage two-tone diamond rings on 1stDibs.
  • Gold used in jewelry comes in 3 colors: white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold. If a piece is made with two-tone gold, this means that a combination of any of the three colors is used to make the jewelry. For example, a ring could have white gold prongs and basket, set in a yellow gold band. This is considered two-tone gold as two colors were used in the ring.
    1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    Two tone gold means that there are two different colors of gold, often yellow gold and white gold. The two differing colors can look good contrasting each other.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024
    Whether you need one or two accent chairs depends on your personal preferences and the space. First, consider the layout of your room. In a small space, two accent chairs may make a seating area feel cramped, while having just one may result in a larger room feeling too empty. Also, think about how many people you're likely to entertain in your seating area and what other furniture is present in the space. If you frequently need additional seating to accommodate large groups, you may want to purchase a second accent chair. Find a wide range of accent chairs on 1stDibs.
