You’ve searched high and low for the perfect chair with rope — we have versions that date back to the 19th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 21st Century are available. When you’re browsing for the right chair with rope, those designed in Mid-Century Modern, Modern and Hollywood Regency styles are of considerable interest. Walter Lamb, Bijoy Jain and Jean Gillon each produced at least one beautiful chair with rope that is worth considering.
How Much is a Chair With Rope?

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 Chair With Rope
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The rope with flags is called different things. You will usually see it referred to as a flagpole rope, but its technical name is the Halyard rope. Its purpose is to help you raise and lower the flag. On 1stDibs, find a selection of antique flags.
- What is an anchor rope called?2 Answers1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The anchor rope can also be called an anchor rode, cable or warp. Generally, larger ships will use a strong anchor rode made of chain. You can also find a selection of anchor lines from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Anchor ropes are also called cables or warps. These ropes connect the anchor to the vessel, and come in many materials like natural fibers, metal and more recently, nylon. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of antique anchor implements from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024There is no standard for how much a 14K gold rope chain should weigh. The thickness of the chain will contribute to its weight, since thicker pieces have more mass than thinner ones. In addition, the length of the chain will impact how much it weighs, with longer chains generally weighing more than shorter ones of the same thickness. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of gold chains.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023The difference between a lounge chair and a chair is specificity. A chair is the general term for furniture typically designed to seat one person at a time, and there are many different kinds of chairs, including dining, accent and office chairs. Lounge chairs are another example of a specific type of chair. They are chairs with a footrest that allows you to elevate your feet while sitting. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023To tell if a chair is an Eames chair, take a look under the seat or cushion. Authentic Eames lounge chairs are manufactured by Herman Miller and Vitra. If your Eames chair is a Herman Miller original, look for the legendary manufacturer’s specific logomarks on the product (these logomarks can be found on the company’s official website). There is also the manufacturing label, which is usually found under the seat or cushion (unless a former owner removed it). All of the classic Herman Miller designs are paired with a certificate of authenticity. Some designs may also have a medallion attached to certify their authenticity. You can then check trusted online resources to determine if the information on the label is correct for the style of chair (and more info on its construction is available on the official Eames website). You won’t see screws outside of the wood shells on an authentic Eames lounge chair, and prior to the 1970s, original vintage Eames lounge chairs were made with no more than five layers of plywood (during the 1970s, the chairs were made with seven layers). Find a variety of authentic Eames chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024The difference between dining chairs and accent chairs is primarily their function. Generally, dining chairs are used in dining areas, where they provide comfortable seating for people to use while eating at tables. You'll normally find accent chairs in seating areas and other parts of the home, where users can sit on them while they read, make conversation or enjoy other relaxing activities. Shop a wide variety of antique, vintage and contemporary chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023The difference between an occasional chair and an accent chair comes down to usage. An occasional chair is a decorative chair that is placed in a room for its look rather than to function as an everyday seating solution. As a result, occasional chairs may be used infrequently. An accent chair is any decorative chair placed in a seating area. They can be used only occasionally or on a daily basis. Explore a wide variety of chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023The difference between a lounge chair and an accent chair pertains to purpose. Typically, a lounge chair is wider and deeper than an accent chair and tends to have a thicker cushion. These stylistic differences owe to the fact that lounge chairs are meant to provide luxurious, comfortable seating for long periods of time, while accent chairs are more often intended to add visual appeal to a living room. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of living room chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024The difference between a computer chair and an office chair is generally the number of features they have. Computer chairs tend to be more basic pieces with adjustable seats. Office chairs may have more padding, multiple points of adjustment and decorative details, such as nailhead trim. Keep in mind that some people do use the terms office chair and computer chair interchangeably. Shop an assortment of office chairs and computer chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024The difference between a Morris chair and a Stickley chair comes down to origins and characteristics. A Morris chair gets its name from William Morris, one of the founders of the British company Morris, Marshall, Faulkner Co. During the late 1860s, the company began producing the Morris chair, which has a reclining seat back and an intricately carved wood frame. This design spread to the U.S., where it was seen by Gustav Stickley. Drawing inspiration from it, Stickley produced the Stickley chair in 1904. Like the Morris chair, the piece has a reclining back but a simpler slatted frame that aligns with the American Arts and Crafts design style. Due to its origins, some people call the Stickley chair the Stickley Morris chair or the Mission Morris chair. Explore a collection of Stickley chairs and Morris chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021The difference between a task chair and an executive chair is that most task chairs will have adjustable seat height as well as swivel and tilt functions. Task chairs are lightweight and mobile but are not intended for long periods of continuous use. Executive chairs are meant to be more comfortable and are usually designed with high backrests. An executive chair is intended for long periods of use compared to a task chair, which in some cases may be armless and isn’t going to provide the premium comfort that can be expected from an executive chair. Task chairs are also typically less expensive than executive chairs. Find a variety of antique, modern and contemporary task chairs and executive chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between an ergonomic chair and an office chair is the specificity of the term. Any chair designed for use at a work desk may be called an office chair. On the other hand, an ergonomic chair is designed to complement the contours of the human body to deliver optimal support and a high level of comfort. Although you'll often see the term ergonomic used to describe office chairs, other types of chairs, such as dining and lounge chairs, can also feature ergonomic designs. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of office chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023The difference between an accent chair and a dining chair comes down to function and design. An accent chair usually goes in a seating area, and makers craft them with comfort in mind. As a result, most accent chairs feature cushioning and upholstery and are characterized by generous proportions. The purpose of a dining chair is to provide a place to sit while enjoying a meal. Usually, dining chairs are lighter and smaller than accent chairs for easy maneuvering. While they may have padded seats and backrests, dining chairs generally aren't as abundantly cushioned as accent chairs. Explore a large selection of chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021The difference between an Adirondack chair and a Muskoka chair can be easily explained in that garden armchairs are called Adirondack in the USA and Muskoka in Canada. While they both have short legs, bent reclining seats, wide armrests and high backs, the Adirondack chair is 2 inches higher from the floor and 2 inches wider. The Adirondack chair uses a flat yoke at the back while Muskoka might use curved yokes. Shop for an Adirondack chair or Muskoka chair on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023The difference between a side chair and a Parsons chair is style. A side chair is a very commonly used dining chair. The form of a side chair may vary, but the constant is the lack of armrests to keep hands free for eating and to save space at the table. A Parsons chair is a type of side chair that features upholstery on the seat and back. Shop a selection of dining chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022A club chair is called a club chair because the accent chairs became popular in the interior décor of gentleman's clubs in France. The original name for the club chair is “fauteuil confortable," which translates to "comfortable chair." You'll find a collection of club chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between a drafting chair and an office chair usually comes down to height. A standard office chair ordinarily has a seat height of 16 to 21 inches, making it ideally proportioned for a user to sit at a desk. Designed for use in front of tall angled drafting and drawing tables, drafting chairs typically feature seat heights of 24 to 32 inches. Explore a wide range of office chairs and drafting chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024Shape is the main difference between a club chair and a wing chair. Normally, a wing chair has a tall back that wraps inwards, making it look as if a pair of wings frames the chair. Club chairs tend to be lower, boxier and flanked by wide arms. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of club chairs and wing chairs.
- What is a glider chair?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 16, 2019
A glider chair is a type of rocking chair that moves like a swing seat.
- What is a gilt chair?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021A gilt chair is a chair whose frame is made of gold or is covered with a small substance that looks like gold. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of gilt chairs from different periods and in a range of design styles.
