Vintage Gym Benches For Sale on 1stDibs
Find a variety of vintage gym benches available on 1stDibs. The range of distinct vintage gym benches — often made from animal skin, leather and wood — can elevate any home. Vintage gym benches have been made for many years, and versions that date back to the 19th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 20th Century. Mid-Century Modern, Industrial and Art Deco vintage gym benches are consistently popular styles. Large vintage gym benches can prove too imposing for some spaces, so the smaller vintage gym benches available at 1stDibs — each spanning 21.66 inches in width — may make for a better choice.
How Much are Vintage Gym Benches?
Vintage gym benches can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price at 1stDibs is $2,763, while the lowest priced sells for $375 and the highest can go for as much as $8,900.
Finding the Right Benches for You
Don’t underestimate a good bench — antique and vintage benches are storage pieces, stylish accents and statement-making additional seating.
Today, benches are a great option to maximize seating in your house and outdoor space. The perfect option to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere in foyers and entryways, benches can also transform dining areas, making it possible to host a hungry family with limited space. Whether you’re sprucing up your entertaining with upholstered Empire-style benches or adding more options to a dining room that’s seen a farmhouse makeover, this humble furnishing has only become more versatile over the years. Designers have recognized the demand for a good bench, crafting the convenient seating alternative from a range of materials, including wood, iron and even concrete.
Mid-century modern benches from George Nakashima, Charlotte Perriand and the pared-down Platform bench by George Nelson for Herman Miller are classics of innovation, but maybe you’re looking for an unconventional design approach to your home's seating. Opt for something totally outside the box — an antique pine church-pew bench paired with a vintage wool throw and stationed under the mounted coatrack in your mudroom is a distinctive touch.
For your outdoor oasis, a wrought-iron patio bench is the obvious choice but not the only option. An enclosed back patio would do well to inherit a rattan bench with cushions, but it can be susceptible to weathering and should be covered or moved indoors when not in use.
Whatever your seating arrangement needs are, find vintage, new and antique benches for every space on 1stDibs.
