Used Leather Couches For Sale on 1stDibs
There is a range of used leather couches for sale on 1stDibs. Each of these unique used leather couches was constructed with extraordinary care, often using animal skin, leather and wood. Used leather couches have been made for many years, and versions that date back to the 18th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 21st Century. Used leather couches are generally popular furniture pieces, but Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian Modern and Modern styles are often sought at 1stDibs. Many used leather couches are appealing in their simplicity, but De Sede, Børge Mogensen and Fredericia produced popular used leather couches that are worth a look.
How Much are Used Leather Couches?
The average selling price for at 1stDibs is $5,993, while they’re typically $1 on the low end and $198,000 highest priced.
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 Used Leather Couches
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023To rejuvenate a leather couch, start by wiping it clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Apply a leather cleaner labeled as safe for the specific type of leather to remove stains or heavy soiling. Then, rub a leather conditioner into the sofa and allow it to rest for a few hours. Wipe off any excess with a soft cloth. When it comes to rejuvenating vintage furniture, however, experts recommend that you consult a professional. On 1stDibs, find a collection of leather couches.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023Whether a leather sofa is a good investment depends on a variety of factors. The materials and quality of craftsmanship will affect how long a piece lasts, but how you care for and use it will also impact longevity. Forward-thinking design and sensuous materials are the hallmarks of 1970s-era leather seating, which feels as sexy, comfortable and radical today as it did in its heyday. Through joint research with several forward-looking furniture manufacturers into state-of-the-art industrial processes, designers of the original leather-clad beanbag chair Piero Gatti, Cesare Paolini and Franco Teodoro explored ways of employing polyurethane foam to serve as both cushion and structure, offering a whole new range of seating concepts. There is likely a leather sofa in everyone’s budget, but taking care of your investment is important. Unlike upholstery, the color of the leather sofa you choose won’t make a difference when it comes to regular maintenance. A damp cloth can be used to remove dust, for example. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of leather sofas from some of the world’s top sellers.
- Is a leather couch worth it?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024Many furniture lovers and interior designers believe a leather couch is worth it. Although full-grain and top-grain leather upholstery generally costs more than faux leather and textiles, high-quality leather gives a couch a sumptuous feel and elevated appearance. Premium leathers also resist wear and can be easily wiped clean. However, whether or not it's worth buying a leather couch is subjective. At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of leather sofas and other furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024To know if your couch is real leather, first look for the tag. Usually, you'll find it sewn onto the side of a cushion, next to the arm or on the back. The tag typically identifies the materials used for both the upholstery and cushioning. Another way to tell is to examine the upholstery under a magnifying glass. With natural leather, you can expect to see an irregular grain pattern. A repeated pattern usually indicates man-made leather. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of leather sofas.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
A good-quality leather couch should last at least 25 years, if properly cared for.
- Does Natuzzi use real leather?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024Yes, Natuzzi uses real leather as upholstery on its pieces. The Italian furniture maker is particularly well-known for its Protecta leather, which is genuine leather that features a protective coating to reduce the risk of staining and wear and tear. In addition to leather furniture, Natuzzi also produces sofas and chairs with natural OEKO-Tex Standard 100-certified fabrics. Shop a large collection of Natuzzi furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Saint Laurent uses smooth or grained leather in addition to exotic materials like crocodile skin. For more information on exact materials, consult the brain’s website. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a wide range of Saint Laurent leather goods from some of the world’s top boutiques.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023For belts, Hermès typically uses full-grain cow leather. This leather comes from the top layer of the hide, giving it a supple feel and lasting durability. Shop a selection of Hermès belts on 1stDibs.
- Does Givenchy use real leather?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024Yes, Givenchy uses real leather. The French luxury fashion house uses high-quality calfskin leather for many of its bags. Over the years, Givenchy has produced matte and patent leather bags and pony skin bags made from calfskin with hair left on for a soft, textured effect. Explore a range of Givenchy bags on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Leather fire buckets were used in the earliest days of fire fighting in the 17th and 18th centuries before metal buckets became more common. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of antique leather fire buckets from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023No, Chanel doesn’t typically use synthetic leather. The French luxury fashion brand’s leather handbags, shoes and accessories are generally either lambskin or a type of calfskin called caviar leather. Shop a range of Chanel pieces from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024Yes, Stressless uses real leather.

Examples include Gucci, Hermès, Prada and Louis Vuitton. Shop a selection of ostrich leather handbags, shoes and accessories from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Leather buckets were used as fire extinguishers, and were generally found in pairs. There would be a large linen bag rolled up inside for one to quickly pack belongings. Water from any nearby water source would be brought in these buckets to extinguish the fire. You can find an assortment of leather fire buckets from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021The best color for decor and furniture to go with your brown leather couch will vary upon your personal preference. Earthy hues, warm and serene, will enhance the beauty of your brown leather couch – consider beige, bluish pink, orange or teal.
