Rush Seat Benches For Sale on 1stDibs

An assortment of rush seat benches is available at 1stDibs. Frequently made of wood, natural fiber and rush, all rush seat benches available were constructed with great care. Rush seat benches have long been popular, with older editions for sale from the 18th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. There are many kinds of rush seat benches to choose from, but at 1stDibs, Mid-Century Modern and Arts and Crafts rush seat benches are of considerable interest. Large rush seat benches can prove too imposing for some spaces, so the smaller rush seat benches available at 1stDibs — each spanning 14 inches in width — may make for a better choice. Arthur Umanoff produced beautiful rush seat benches that are worth considering.

How Much are Rush Seat Benches?

Prices for rush seat benches start at $395 and top out at $7,200 with the average selling for $2,850.

Finding the Right Benches for You

Don’t underestimate a good bench — antique and vintage benches are storage pieces, stylish accents and statement-making additional seating.

Today, benches are a great option to maximize seating in your house and outdoor space. The perfect option to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere in foyers and entryways, benches can also transform dining areas, making it possible to host a hungry family with limited space. Whether you’re sprucing up your entertaining with upholstered Empire-style benches or adding more options to a dining room that’s seen a farmhouse makeover, this humble furnishing has only become more versatile over the years. Designers have recognized the demand for a good bench, crafting the convenient seating alternative from a range of materials, including wood, iron and even concrete.

Mid-century modern benches from George Nakashima, Charlotte Perriand and the pared-down Platform bench by George Nelson for Herman Miller are classics of innovation, but maybe you’re looking for an unconventional design approach to your home's seating. Opt for something totally outside the box — an antique pine church-pew bench paired with a vintage wool throw and stationed under the mounted coatrack in your mudroom is a distinctive touch.

For your outdoor oasis, a wrought-iron patio bench is the obvious choice but not the only option. An enclosed back patio would do well to inherit a rattan bench with cushions, but it can be susceptible to weathering and should be covered or moved indoors when not in use.

Whatever your seating arrangement needs are, find vintage, new and antique benches for every space on 1stDibs.
