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.

Which cultures do not use wedding rings?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
Traditionally, many Asian cultures do not use wedding rings. However, wedding rings have become popular even in countries where they are not normally worn due to the influence of Western traditions.

Is platinum used in wedding rings?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
Yes, platinum is used in wedding rings. As the metal of choice for wedding jewelry, platinum offers long-lasting durability, as it is strong and scratch-resistant. The metal also doesn't fade and is unlikely to tarnish or corrode, allowing it to maintain its cool color and sleek appearance with very little need for ongoing maintenance. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of platinum wedding rings.
Did the Celts use wedding rings?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023

Why is pure gold not used for wedding rings?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
Pure gold is typically not used for wedding rings due to its properties. Because it contains no base metals, pure or 24-karat gold is soft and malleable. As a result, it's vulnerable to scratches and breakage. Alloys like 18- and 14-karat gold tend to be stronger and are better suited to making rings. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of gold wedding rings.
What can I use to hold my wedding rings together?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023
To hold your wedding rings together, you can use an accessory called a ring connector. Available in silver and gold tones and clear designs, connectors usually slip onto each ring and then snap together. For a more permanent option, you can have a jeweler solder the rings to one another. On 1stDibs, find a variety of wedding rings.
Can you use your engagement ring as your wedding ring?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
Yes, you can use your engagement ring as your wedding ring. Although many people choose to wear a separate wedding band, you're free to have your new spouse slip your engagement ring onto your finger during your wedding ceremony. In this case, you would forego wearing a wedding band entirely. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of antique and vintage engagement rings.
What is an accent chair used for?

1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

Some corner chairs were also used at desks because they allowed more freedom of movement for the sitter. Corner chairs were also called roundabout chairs, smoking chairs, barber’s chairs, writing chairs and desk chairs. Shop a collection of corner chairs from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
Is it okay to use an engagement ring as a wedding band?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023
Yes, it is okay to use an engagement ring as a wedding band. Some people prefer not to wear two separate rings and use the same piece both to symbolize their intent to marry and for their marriage vows. A wedding ring also doesn't have to be a band ring at all. A solitaire, halo or other type of engagement ring featuring a central stone and accent stones can easily serve as a wedding ring. You're free to choose any ring to function as both your engagement and wedding rings. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of wedding rings.

What plastic is used for chairs?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
