Finding the Right Sofas for You
Black leather, silk velvet cushions, breathable bouclé fabric — when shopping for antique or vintage sofas, today’s couch connoisseurs have much to choose from in terms of style and shape. But it wasn’t always thus.
The sofa is typically defined as a long upholstered seat that features a back and arms and is intended for two or more people. While the term “couch” comes from the Old French couche, meaning to lie down, and sofa has Eastern origins, both are forms of divan, a Turkish word that means an elongated cushioned seat. Bench-like seating in Ancient Greece, which was padded with soft blankets, was called klinai. No matter how you spell it, sofa just means comfort, at least it does today.
In the early days of sofa design, upholstery consisted of horsehair or dried moss. Sofas that originated in countries such as France during the 17th century were more integral to decor than they were to comfort. Like most Baroque furnishings from the region, they frequently comprised heavy, gilded mahogany frames and were upholstered in floral Beauvais tapestry. Today, options abound when it comes to style and material, with authentic leather offerings and classy steel settees. Plush, velvet chesterfields represent the platonic ideal of coziness.
Vladimir Kagan’s iconic sofa designs, such as the Crescent and the Serpentine — which, like the sectional sofas of the 1960s created by furniture makers such as Harvey Probber, are quite popular among mid-century modern furniture enthusiasts — showcase the spectrum of style available to modern consumers. Those looking to make a statement can turn to Studio 65’s lip-shaped Bocca sofa, which was inspired by the work of Salvador Dalí. Elsewhere, the furniture of the 1970s evokes an era when experimentation ruled, or at least provided a reason to break the rules. Just about every area of society felt a sudden urge to be wayward, to push boundaries — and buttons. Vintage leather sofas of that decade are characterized by a rare blending of the showy and organic.
With so many options, it’s important to explore and find the perfect furniture for your space. Paying attention to the lines of the cushions as well as the flow from the backrest into the arms is crucial to identifying a cohesive new piece for your home or office.
Fortunately, with styles from every era — and even round sofas — there’s a luxurious piece for every space. Deck out your living room with an Art Deco lounge or go retro with a nostalgic '80s design. No matter your sitting vision, the right piece is waiting for you in the expansive collection of unique sofas on 1stDibs.
Questions About 1940s Couches
- How can I identify my couch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024To identify your couch, look for the maker's markings. Manufacturers choose different places for markings. Some will sew a label onto a cushion or mark one of the legs. Others place their markings on the underside of the frame, so it may be necessary to turn your couch onto its side to locate the marking. Once you've found it, you can search trusted online resources to find out who made your couch and then review information about that particular manufacturer to learn more about your piece's age, style and other characteristics. If you'd like assistance with the process, use the services of a knowledgeable antique dealer or certified appraiser. Explore a wide range of antique, vintage and contemporary couches on 1stDibs.
- What is a sectional couch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 16, 2019
A sectional couch is comprised of individual pieces that can be arranged in different positions.
- What is a modular couch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A modular couch differs from traditional couches in that they comprise a series of various moveable sections called modules. They generally include a wide range of options such as moveable arm pieces or chaises longues. These couches offer great flexibility as you can set each module according to your needs. Find a collection of antique and vintage modular couches on 1stDibs today.
- What is a cloud couch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 26, 2021The terms “cloud couch” or “cloud sofa” may refer to two specific designs — Restoration Hardware‘s Cloud Sofa is a plush white sofa with no hard edges and an oversized seat upholstered with goose-down stuffing. The other design known by this name is Adrian Pearsall’s low-profile Cloud sofa, one of the contributions to mid-century modern furniture design for which Pearsall is recognized today and among the initial concepts for Craft Associates, the now-legendary furniture company he founded. On 1stDibs, you will find a collection of antique, vintage, and contemporary sofas from some of the world’s top dealers.
- What is a couch table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

- What is a studio couch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024A studio couch is a multifunctional sofa often used in small spaces, such as single-room studio apartments. It usually features a backless design and an adjustable frame. By sliding the frame, a user can convert the sofa into a double bed, so they can sit and sleep on a single piece of furniture. Find a large selection of sofas on 1stDibs.
- What is a chaise on a couch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 26, 2021A chaise is different from a couch or sofa. A comfortable common ground between sofas and daybeds, early iterations of chaise longues were discovered in Ancient Egypt and were later frequently used in both Greece and Rome. The chaise longue is based on a modern French design and is also known as a chaise lounge. This low reclining seat, known in English as a "long chair," has an elongated design with a low back that reaches about half the length of the furniture, allowing a sitter to put their feet up and relax. Shop a range of antique and modern chaise longues and sofas from top sellers and makers around the world.
- What is a Turkish couch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 14, 2024A Turkish couch is a long, low sofa, usually composed of a very thick mattress-like cushion and a wooden frame. Some styles feature arms like traditional sofas, while others are armless. You may sometimes see this type of furniture referred to as a divan. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of couches.
- What is a vinyl couch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021A vinyl couch is a couch made from a chemical called polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which gives it a matte finish. Vinyl couches are smooth to the touch and tend to resemble leather but have less luster than a leather sofa. These couches are quite durable, lasting for many years without cracking like leather. Shop vinyl couches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021There are many kinds of comfortable couches-- it's really a matter of preference. on 1stDibs, you can find a variety of Modern, Art Deco, Victorian, Regency, among many other styles of couches.

- Is a leather couch worth it?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024Many furniture lovers and interior designers believe a leather couch is worth it. Although full-grain and top-grain leather upholstery generally costs more than faux leather and textiles, high-quality leather gives a couch a sumptuous feel and elevated appearance. Premium leathers also resist wear and can be easily wiped clean. However, whether or not it's worth buying a leather couch is subjective. At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of leather sofas and other furniture.

- How do I measure a curved couch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To measure a curved couch, first measure the depth from the front to the back and the height from the floor to the top. For length, place the tape measure in one back corner and then extend all the way across to the other back corner. You may also wish to measure the width of the opening, working from the front left inner corner to the right inner corner. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of curved couches.

Vacuum the velvet regularly. If a spill occurs, blot it immediately with a dry cloth.

Once the fabric is dry, use a soft, dry brush to restore the original direction and loft of the pile.
- How long should couches last?1 Answer
