How Much is a Vintage Ralph Lauren Chair?
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.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024To tell if Polo Ralph Lauren is vintage, first check the wash tag. Pieces produced after 2000 often have a year of production listed on them, making it easy to identify more recent items. If you don't see a year of production, it's a sign that your piece may be vintage, but you'll need to investigate further to be sure. Next, check the manufacturing location. Nearly all Polo Ralph Lauren apparel and accessories with tags that read "Made in the USA" are vintage. You can also look closely at the neck label. Although the Polo logo has largely remained unchanged, the brand did make the lettering slightly thinner in the mid-2010s. Compare the label on your piece to images posted on trusted online resources to see which version you have. In order for your piece to be considered vintage, it must be at least 20 years old. If you're still uncertain about your item's age, consult a certified appraiser or expert authenticator. Shop a selection of Ralph Lauren apparel and accessories on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024To tell if vintage Ralph Lauren is real, first examine the tags. On authentic pieces, the size will appear on a separate tag layered on top of the material tag, and many counterfeits miss this detail. For polo shirts and other embroidered pieces, examine the horse logo closely. A real Ralph Lauren horse logo will have a distinct tail and a straight back leg, another thing that many fakes will lack. Finally, examine the thread used to secure buttons and fasteners. It should be the exact same color as the rest of the garment. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of vintage Ralph Lauren apparel.
