Wing Chair Armchair For Sale on 1stDibs

A wing chair armchair — often made from wood, fabric and animal skin — can elevate any home. Find 348 options for an antique or vintage wing chair armchair now, or shop our selection of 10 modern versions for a more contemporary example of this long-cherished piece. You’ve searched high and low for the perfect wing chair armchair — we have versions that date back to the 18th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 21st Century are available. A wing chair armchair, designed in the Mid-Century Modern, Georgian or Scandinavian Modern style, is generally a popular piece of furniture. Many designers have produced at least one well-made wing chair armchair over the years, but those crafted by Christian Sorensen, Fritz Hansen and Adrian Pearsall are often thought to be among the most beautiful.

How Much is a Wing Chair Armchair?

Prices for a wing chair armchair can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, they begin at $10 and can go as high as $49,500, while the average can fetch as much as $4,195.

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 Wing Chair Armchair
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021
    A wing chair is another name for a wingback chair, which features long armchair protrusions that were initially designed to shield the chair’s occupant from the drafts and intense heat radiating from a fireplace. It has a long backrest with sides at the top that point out like wings. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of antique and vintage wingback chairs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    Shape is the main difference between a club chair and a wing chair. Normally, a wing chair has a tall back that wraps inwards, making it look as if a pair of wings frames the chair. Club chairs tend to be lower, boxier and flanked by wide arms. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of club chairs and wing chairs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023
    Whether an armchair is an accent chair varies from piece to piece. Any chair with arms is an armchair, while an accent chair is a decorative chair typically used in a seating area. Armchairs include dining chairs with arms as well as accent chairs, and some accent chairs don't have arms at all. Only a decorative seating area chair with arms can be called both an armchair and an accent chair. Shop a large collection of chairs on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    There is no difference between a club chair and an armchair; a club chair is a type of armchair. An armchair is any chair with arms, while a club chair is a wide, comfortable type of armchair that is typically clad in leather and features thick upholstery. All club chairs are armchairs, but not all armchairs are club chairs. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of club chairs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between an armchair and an easy chair lies in the specificity of the terms. In living room furniture nomenclature, an armchair is any upholstered chair framed by a pair of arms. The term easy chair usually refers to a large armchair with comfortable cushioning. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of easy chairs and other armchairs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    The difference between an armchair and an accent chair comes down to the specificity of the terms. An accent chair is any decorative chair designed to provide comfortable seating in living rooms and other spaces (armchairs can be accent chairs). An armchair is merely any chair that has armrests. Many different styles of armchairs have been made over the years. Find a wide range of armchairs and accent chairs on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024
    The difference between a lounge chair and an armchair is the specificity of the term. A lounge chair is a type of comfortable seat that allows a user to relax. It typically features an angled seat that puts the user in a reclined position. Armchair is the term for any seating area chair framed by arms. Most lounge chairs are armchairs. However, there are also many armchairs with straight backs that don't fit the definition of a lounge chair. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of lounge chairs and armchairs.
