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 Barcelona Chair Vintage
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The signature on a Barcelona chair is usually a stamp found on the base. In addition to the signature of Mies van der Rohe, the stamp typically includes an individual production number. You'll find a selection of expertly vetted Mies van der Rohe furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The Barcelona chair was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe as seating for the King and Queen of Spain in case they visited the German Pavilion at the International Exposition of 1929. Browse 1stDibs to find an array of Barcelona chairs from top sellers.
- How is a Barcelona chair made?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A Barcelona chair is a simple shape featuring a single curve bar to form the seat and another to form the back, with both intersecting at the center. A side profile of the chair will look like the letter ‘x’ with a curve. This simple design continues to be a favorite with home decor enthusiasts. Shop a range of Barcelona chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024The Barcelona chair is so popular for a couple of reasons. Many people prize the chair for its regal appearance. In its X-shaped structure, the Barcelona chair recalls the ancient folding stools of Egypt and Rome and was designed with swooping lines and a luxe contrast of materials between the chrome-plated frame and quilted leather cushions. Its minimalist design makes it a popular choice for professional settings like reception areas and offices. The chair also offers plenty of support and boasts durable, sturdy construction. Plus, many buyers appreciate the long history of the acclaimed chair, which was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich, and debuted in 1929. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Barcelona chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022The original Barcelona chair designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe featured ivory upholstery made of pigskin leather. Modern incarnations come in a wide range of upholstery colors and are available from Knoll Furniture. You'll find a variety of Barcelona chairs 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024To spot a fake Barcelona chair, start by checking the base. A genuine chair will feature a production number and Mies van der Rohe's signature. You can compare these markings to images published by trusted online resources to evaluate the authenticity of a chair. Next, count the number of panels on the upholstery. A real Barcelona chair will have 40 panels, but replicas may not. Also, the upholstery on authentic Barcelona chairs is a single piece to which piping is then applied. If you notice seams that indicate the maker utilized multiple pieces of hide or fabric, you're likely looking at a reproduction. When in doubt, seek the opinion of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Explore an assortment of Mies van der Rohe Barcelona chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To spot an authentic Knoll Barcelona chair, first check the back cushion to make sure it retains its shape and doesn’t sag. The chair should be slightly taller than its steel frame and curved in shape. The upholstery should be excellent and even, with no signs of improper workmanship. For vintage chairs, look for a Knoll sticker or label on the bottom cushion. For chairs made after 1996, check for a “Knoll Studios” stamp on the frame. Shop authentic Knoll Barcelona chairs on 1stDibs from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023To be vintage, a chair typically needs to be at least 20 years old, while a chair older than 100 years is an antique. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique, vintage and modern dining chairs from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Many factors like wood, construction, and patina come into play when you date a vintage chair. If you can’t find a maker’s mark or any other kind of identifying mark on the piece, consult a furniture encyclopedia or a certified expert. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of vintage chairs from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023To tell how old a vintage chair is, first try and locate the manufacturer's label, tag or mark. Typically, identifying markings and tags appear under cushions or on the undersides of chairs. You may find that the date of manufacturing appears on the label or tag. If not, check trusted online resources to find out when the manufacturer was in business to make an estimate of the age. When in doubt, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or antiques dealer to help you date a particular chair. Find an assortment of antique, vintage and modern chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024To identify a vintage Gunlocke chair, examine the legs. Most pieces will feature a tag that bears the brand name. On antique and early vintage chairs, the label will usually be made of paper or leather, while riveted brass tags appear on later vintage and contemporary chairs. Once you've confirmed that Gunlocke is the maker by checking the tag, browse the company's catalogues, which are available online, to determine approximately when it was made. Some tags may include a style or color number that will expedite the search. If your chair is 20 to 99 years old, it is vintage, while pieces that are 100 years old or older are antiques. You may wish to enlist the help of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer when identifying your chair. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of Gunlocke chairs.
- Is my vintage Eames chair real?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To know if your vintage Eames chair is real, check for a reclining mechanism. On original chairs, the back had a permanent reclined position, so no mechanism is necessary. Also, a vintage piece is around 32 inches high, while later reproductions are normally bigger. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of expertly vetted Eames chairs.
