Used Leather Sofa For Sale on 1stDibs
At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal used leather sofa for your home. Frequently made of animal skin, leather and wood, every used leather sofa was constructed with great care. Your living room may not be complete without a used leather sofa — find older editions for sale from the 18th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 21st Century. A used leather sofa, designed in the Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian Modern or Modern style, is generally a popular piece of furniture. Many designers have produced at least one well-made used leather sofa over the years, but those crafted by De Sede, Børge Mogensen and Fredericia are often thought to be among the most beautiful.
How Much is a Used Leather Sofa?
A used leather sofa can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $5,999, while the lowest priced sells for $1 and the highest can go for as much as $198,000.
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 Used Leather Sofa
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are a few different types of leather that are great for sofas - royalin, full grain and top grain leather. In terms of style and comfort, it really comes down to a matter of preference. You’ll find a variety of leather sofa options from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Can I dye a leather sofa?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024Yes, you can dye a leather sofa. To do so, you must typically begin by sanding down the upholstery, oiling it and then applying dye. Because there is a risk that you could damage your sofa, you may wish to enlist the help of a professional upholsterer or furniture repair expert. Find a variety of leather sofas on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023No, Chanel doesn’t typically use synthetic leather. The French luxury fashion brand’s leather handbags, shoes and accessories are generally either lambskin or a type of calfskin called caviar leather. Shop a range of Chanel pieces from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024Yes, Stressless uses real leather. The luxury furniture maker produces upholstery out of several different kinds of genuine leather, all of which are carefully sourced to ensure quality. Some Stressless chairs feature microfiber upholstery instead of leather. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of Stressless chairs from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Leather buckets were used as fire extinguishers, and were generally found in pairs. There would be a large linen bag rolled up inside for one to quickly pack belongings. Water from any nearby water source would be brought in these buckets to extinguish the fire. You can find an assortment of leather fire buckets from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What brands use ostrich leather?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023Many luxury brands have used ostrich leather to produce handbags, belts, shoes and apparel. Examples include Gucci, Hermès, Prada and Louis Vuitton. Shop a selection of ostrich leather handbags, shoes and accessories from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Leather fire buckets were used in the earliest days of fire fighting in the 17th and 18th centuries before metal buckets became more common. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of antique leather fire buckets from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Saint Laurent uses smooth or grained leather in addition to exotic materials like crocodile skin. For more information on exact materials, consult the brain’s website. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a wide range of Saint Laurent leather goods from some of the world’s top boutiques.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023For belts, Hermès typically uses full-grain cow leather. This leather comes from the top layer of the hide, giving it a supple feel and lasting durability. Shop a selection of Hermès belts on 1stDibs.
- Does Givenchy use real leather?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024Yes, Givenchy uses real leather. The French luxury fashion house uses high-quality calfskin leather for many of its bags. Over the years, Givenchy has produced matte and patent leather bags and pony skin bags made from calfskin with hair left on for a soft, textured effect. Explore a range of Givenchy bags on 1stDibs.
- Does Natuzzi use real leather?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024Yes, Natuzzi uses real leather as upholstery on its pieces. The Italian furniture maker is particularly well-known for its Protecta leather, which is genuine leather that features a protective coating to reduce the risk of staining and wear and tear. In addition to leather furniture, Natuzzi also produces sofas and chairs with natural OEKO-Tex Standard 100-certified fabrics. Shop a large collection of Natuzzi furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022With Italian leather, you want to avoid getting the material wet. If you can, use a dry cloth or vacuum to remove dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth, but avoid chemical cleaners. Save the hassle and shop a collection of Italian leather furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 6, 2024The highest-grade leather for a sofa is full-grain leather. It comes from the topmost layer of the animal hide and does not undergo any buffing or sanding. As a result, it is highly durable, has a luxurious, supple feel and shows off the beautiful natural grain pattern of genuine leather. Explore a variety of leather sofas on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024Full-grain and top-grain leather are both good quality-leathers for sofas. Full-grain leather consists of the full hide, making it durable yet supple and visually appealing. Top-grain leather is more economically priced and has the outermost layer of the hide sanded and buffed away, giving it a smoother texture and less of a visible grain. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of leather sofas.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021When choosing a leather sofa, it's important to consider the material's quality, especially if you're looking for an enduring item. Top-grain calfskin leather, for instance, is more durable and simpler to maintain than corrected-grain leather. Top-grain leather also softens with age and develops a unique sheen. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage leather sofas.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023Whether a leather sofa is a good investment depends on a variety of factors. The materials and quality of craftsmanship will affect how long a piece lasts, but how you care for and use it will also impact longevity. Forward-thinking design and sensuous materials are the hallmarks of 1970s-era leather seating, which feels as sexy, comfortable and radical today as it did in its heyday. Through joint research with several forward-looking furniture manufacturers into state-of-the-art industrial processes, designers of the original leather-clad beanbag chair Piero Gatti, Cesare Paolini and Franco Teodoro explored ways of employing polyurethane foam to serve as both cushion and structure, offering a whole new range of seating concepts. There is likely a leather sofa in everyone’s budget, but taking care of your investment is important. Unlike upholstery, the color of the leather sofa you choose won’t make a difference when it comes to regular maintenance. A damp cloth can be used to remove dust, for example. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of leather sofas from some of the world’s top sellers.
- Is an Italian leather sofa good?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024Yes, an Italian leather sofa is typically good. Italian leather is known for being a high-quality material that is pleasing to the eye and has a luxurious, supple feel. As a result, it can be a fine option for sofas. Keep in mind that the sturdiness and strength of the frame and the resilience of the padding and suspension systems inside of sofas also impact their quality and durability. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of leather sofas.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021The best type of leather for a sofa is top grain leather, which is smooth, supple and the most expensive. Top grain has two grades — aniline, which is most natural and semi-aniline, which may be coated with a protective top coat. You can also have top grain leather that is pigmented. If you are looking for some contemporary, vintage and antique leather sofas, you can visit 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024To tell if a sofa is real leather, run your hand along the upholstery. With real leather, you're likely to feel an uneven or bumpy underlayer due to the natural characteristics of the material. By comparison, man-made leather will usually feel perfectly smooth. The appearance of the leather can also be a giveaway. Natural leather will usually show off variations in its grain, while faux leather will typically have a regular repeated pattern. If you're still uncertain after completing an inspection yourself, consult a certified appraiser or experienced furniture dealer for assistance. Explore a large selection of leather sofas on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 7, 2024Yes, Louis Vuitton is known for luxury products that have been hand-crafted using high-quality materials, including real leather. Recently, the brand has started to explore vegan leather options for certain products as well to support sustainability. Browse a wide range of leather Louis Vuitton bags, shoes and more on 1stDibs.
