How Much are Painted Wood Chairs?
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.
- Can you use oil paint on wood?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021You can use oil paint on wood as long as you prep the wood first. The first thing you should do is seal the wood with a primer. Ideally, paint two coats of sealer onto the wood so that the paint doesn't cause the wood to rot over time.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024How much a Grant Wood painting is worth varies based on its size, historical significance, condition and other factors. In 2005, his piece Spring Plowing fetched more than $6.9 million at a New York auction. The American artist developed a unique style of his own that treated Midwestern subjects with Gothic overtones, satire and caricature. His paintings have a simple innocence and fantasy that transport the viewer into another world, often that of a child. To learn the estimated value of a particular Wood piece, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer. Find a range of Grant Wood art on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Robert Wood paintings are worth $3,000- $5,000 on average, according to auction estimates. Some Wood paintings have fetched up to $25,000 for their unique and highly desirable subject matter. Robert Wood is considered a fairly commercial artist, so his paintings do not typically fetch exorbitant prices.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The Eames LCW (Lounge Chair Wood) is made with plywood and designed to mold to the human body and provide the utmost comfort. The chair is not upholstered because it’s already comfortable. Rubber shock mounts are glued to the chair to create a seamless look without the use of bolts and screws.
