Mid-Century Modern Barware
MID-CENTURY MODERN STYLE
Organically shaped, clean-lined and elegantly simple are three terms that well describe vintage mid-century modern furniture. The style, which emerged primarily in the years following World War II, is characterized by pieces that were conceived and made in an energetic, optimistic spirit by creators who believed that good design was an essential part of good living.
ORIGINS OF MID-CENTURY MODERN FURNITURE DESIGN
- Emerged during the mid-20th century
- Informed by European modernism, Bauhaus, International style, Scandinavian modernism and Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture
- A heyday of innovation in postwar America
- Experimentation with new ideas, new materials and new forms flourished in Scandinavia, Italy, the former Czechoslovakia and elsewhere in Europe
CHARACTERISTICS OF MID-CENTURY MODERN FURNITURE DESIGN
- Simplicity, organic forms, clean lines
- A blend of neutral and bold Pop art colors
- Use of natural and man-made materials — alluring woods such as teak, rosewood and oak; steel, fiberglass and molded plywood
- Light-filled spaces with colorful upholstery
- Glass walls and an emphasis on the outdoors
- Promotion of functionality
MID-CENTURY MODERN FURNITURE DESIGNERS TO KNOW
- Charles and Ray Eames
- Eero Saarinen
- Milo Baughman
- Florence Knoll
- Harry Bertoia
- Isamu Noguchi
- George Nelson
- Danish modernists Hans Wegner and Arne Jacobsen, whose emphasis on natural materials and craftsmanship influenced American designers and vice versa

VINTAGE MID-CENTURY MODERN FURNITURE ON 1STDIBS
The mid-century modern era saw leagues of postwar American architects and designers animated by new ideas and new technology. The lean, functionalist International-style architecture of Le Corbusier and Bauhaus eminences Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Walter Gropius had been promoted in the United States during the 1930s by Philip Johnson and others. New building techniques, such as “post-and-beam” construction, allowed the International-style schemes to be realized on a small scale in open-plan houses with long walls of glass.
Materials developed for wartime use became available for domestic goods and were incorporated into mid-century modern furniture designs. Charles and Ray Eames and Eero Saarinen, who had experimented extensively with molded plywood, eagerly embraced fiberglass for pieces such as the La Chaise and the Womb chair, respectively.
Architect, writer and designer George Nelson created with his team shades for the Bubble lamp using a new translucent polymer skin and, as design director at Herman Miller, recruited the Eameses, Alexander Girard and others for projects at the legendary Michigan furniture manufacturer.
Harry Bertoia and Isamu Noguchi devised chairs and tables built of wire mesh and wire struts. Materials were repurposed too: The Danish-born designer Jens Risom created a line of chairs using surplus parachute straps for webbed seats and backrests.
The Risom lounge chair was among the first pieces of furniture commissioned and produced by celebrated manufacturer Knoll, a chief influencer in the rise of modern design in the United States, thanks to the work of Florence Knoll, the pioneering architect and designer who made the firm a leader in its field. The seating that Knoll created for office spaces — as well as pieces designed by Florence initially for commercial clients — soon became desirable for the home.
As the demand for casual, uncluttered furnishings grew, more mid-century furniture designers caught the spirit.
Classically oriented creators such as Edward Wormley, house designer for Dunbar Inc., offered such pieces as the sinuous Listen to Me chaise; the British expatriate T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings switched gears, creating items such as the tiered, biomorphic Mesa table. There were Young Turks such as Paul McCobb, who designed holistic groups of sleek, blond wood furniture, and Milo Baughman, who espoused a West Coast aesthetic in minimalist teak dining tables and lushly upholstered chairs and sofas with angular steel frames.
Generations turn over, and mid-century modern remains arguably the most popular style going. As the collection of vintage mid-century modern chairs, dressers, coffee tables and other furniture for the living room, dining room, bedroom and elsewhere on 1stDibs demonstrates, this period saw one of the most delightful and dramatic flowerings of creativity in design history.

Mid-Century Culver “Valencia” 22-Karat Gold Highball Glass Set, 10 Pieces, 1950s

Located in Miami, FL
Mid-Century Culver “Valencia” 22-Karat Gold Highball Glass Set, 10 Pieces, 1950s,
Culver Ltd. Valencia Pattern 22-Karat Gold Highball Glasses, Set of 10, Mid-Century
Elevate your barware collection with this elegant vintage Mid-Century Modern Culver highball glass set, featuring the coveted Valencia pattern with lavish 22-karat gold decoration and vibrant emerald-green accents.
This 10-piece set showcases Culver’s iconic Moorish / Moroccan-inspired design, a hallmark of their luxurious glassware of the 1950s–early 1960s.
Each glass is beautifully adorned with Culver’s signature raised gold scrollwork, geometric motifs, and jewel-tone green panels—an unmistakable detail of early Culver production. The presence of the original “Culver Ltd.” script confirms this is an earlier, high-quality example of the Valencia series.
Details
Maker: Culver Ltd.
Pattern: Valencia (Moorish / Moroccan Revival)
Period: Mid-Century Modern, circa 1955–1965
Composition: 22-karat gold decorated glass
Quantity: 10 highball glasses
Dimensions:
• 5 5/8" High
• 2 3/4" Diameter (rim)
Condition: Very good vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or notable wear. Gold surfaces remain bright and beautifully preserved.
Why This Set Stands Out
This is a collector-grade example of Culver’s most famous pattern. The Valencia design remains highly sought after for its glamorous metallic finish and Moorish elegance. Perfect for entertaining, gifting, or display on a bar cart, sideboard, credenza, or in a glass-front cabinet, these glasses bring instant sophistication to any home.
Add a touch of Mid-Century luxury to your cocktail experience with this exceptional Culver Valencia 10-piece highball set.

Set of Four Mid-Century Amber Glass Goblets in Textured Honeycomb Pattern
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
These luxury mid-century amber glass goblets exude the timeless elegance of old-world entertaining. Crafted in the 1950s–1960s, each piece features a refined textured honeycomb pattern that glows in rich golden light, reminiscent of Murano and French pressed glass design from the same era.
The pedestal base lends architectural grace and stability, while the sculpted form feels both substantial and airy. Their warm amber tone adds instant ambiance, evoking the soft candlelit glow of Palm Beach villas, Provençal estates, and Santa Fe adobe homes alike.
This set of four amber glass tumblers was sourced from a private estate in the American Southwest — a curated collection where modernist form met vintage glamour. Ideal for use as cocktail glasses, iced tea tumblers, or bar display accents, these heirloom-quality pieces elevate both casual gatherings and elegant dinner parties.
