Tandem Sling Armchair by Ray and Charles Eames for Herman Miller, c 1970

By Charles and Ray Eames, Herman Miller

Located in Los Angeles, CA

This single 'Tandem' sling armchair, designed by Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller, is part of the iconic modular seating system originally introduced for airports and public spaces in the mid-20th century. The design reflects the Eameses’ ability to combine industrial efficiency with refined modernist aesthetics. NOTE - we have another one listed if you wish to create a pair. The chair features a cast aluminum frame with a sculptural profile, supporting a suspended sling seat and back upholstered in black leatherette. The tailored upholstery is tensioned within the frame, creating a supportive yet flexible seating experience while maintaining a clean, architectural silhouette. Originally conceived as part of a connected beam seating system, this example has been configured as an individual armchair, allowing it to function as a standalone piece in a variety of interior settings. The aluminum frame provides both durability and visual lightness, while the black upholstery offers a timeless and versatile palette. The gently reclined back and integrated armrests contribute to the chair’s comfort, making it well-suited for use as a lounge chair, office chair, side chair, or accent chair. Its industrial origins also lend themselves well to interiors ranging from Mid-Century Modern and Modernist to Industrial and Contemporary environments. The Eames Tandem...

Hepplewhite Spider Back Mahogany Armchair, Paisley Upholstery, Late 20th Century

Located in Trenton, NJ

Hepplewhite Spider Back Mahogany Armchair, Paisley Upholstery, Late 20th Century A beautifully executed Hepplewhite spider back armchair in solid mahogany, produced by a quality American or English manufacturer in the late 20th century in faithful reproduction of one of the most celebrated chair designs in the Georgian decorative arts canon. The spider back — George Hepplewhite's ingenious oval back pierced into a radiating web of curved mahogany straps, each intersection accented with a carved rosette — is among the most visually distinctive and technically demanding chair backs in the English neoclassical tradition, requiring exceptional skill in both design and execution. This example presents the full vocabulary of the form with evident quality: the continuous oval back crest rising from the carved arm supports, the spider web lattice with its central carved rosette and accent rosettes at each major intersection, the fluted arm supports with carved rosette terminals, and the serpentine seat rail with carved apron detail. The front legs are the characteristic Hepplewhite tapered square leg with spade feet — clean, precise, and architectural. The rear legs splay gently outward in the period manner, providing both stability and visual elegance. The upholstered seat is fitted in a warm paisley fabric in tones of sage and cream — a period-appropriate pattern that coordinates naturally with the rich dark mahogany frame. The overall quality of the carving — particularly the rosette details and the precision of the spider web lattice — is consistent with the output of quality American reproduction makers working in the traditional furniture idiom. No maker's markings observed; please check the underside of the seat for any label. The Hepplewhite spider back chair...

Antique and Vintage Armchairs for Sale on 1stDibs

Armchairs have run the gamut from prestige to ease and everything in between, and everyone has an antique or vintage armchair that they love.

Long before industrial mass production democratized seating, armchairs conveyed status and power.

In ancient Egypt, the commoners took stools, while in early Greece, ceremonial chairs of carved marble were designated for nobility. But the high-backed early thrones of yore, elevated and ornate, were merely grandiose iterations of today’s armchairs.

Modern-day armchairs, built with functionality and comfort in mind, are now central to tasks throughout your home. Formal dining armchairs support your guests at a table for a cheery feast, a good drafting chair with a deep seat is parked in front of an easel where you create art and, elsewhere, an ergonomic wonder of sorts positions you at the desk for your 9 to 5.

When placed under just the right lamp where you can lounge comfortably, both elbows resting on the padded supports on each side of you, an upholstered armchair — or a rattan armchair for your light-suffused sunroom — can be the sanctuary where you’ll read for hours.

If you’re in the mood for company, your velvet chesterfield armchair is a place to relax and be part of the conversation that swirls around you. Maybe the dialogue is about the beloved Papa Bear chair, a mid-century modern masterpiece from Danish carpenter and furniture maker Hans Wegner, and the wingback’s strong association with the concept of cozying up by the fireplace, which we can trace back to its origins in 1600s-era England, when the seat’s distinctive arm protrusions protected the sitter from the heat of the period’s large fireplaces.

If the fireside armchair chat involves spirited comparisons, your companions will likely probe the merits of antique and vintage armchairs such as Queen Anne armchairs, Victorian armchairs or even Louis XVI armchairs, as well as the pros and cons of restoration versus conservation.

Everyone seems to have a favorite armchair and most people will be all too willing to talk about their beloved design. Whether that’s the unique Favela chair by Brazilian sibling furniture designers Fernando and Humberto Campana, who repurposed everyday objects to provocative effect; or Marcel Breuer’s futuristic tubular metal Wassily lounge chair; the functionality-first LC series from Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret; or the Eames lounge chair of the mid-1950s created by Charles and Ray Eames, there is an iconic armchair for everyone and every purpose.
