High Back Bar Stool For Sale on 1stDibs
With a vast inventory of beautiful furniture at 1stDibs, we’ve got just the high back bar stool you’re looking for. Frequently made of wood, metal and animal skin, every high back bar stool was constructed with great care. If you’re shopping for a high back bar stool, we have 7 options in-stock, while there are 2 modern editions to choose from as well. There are many kinds of the high back bar stool you’re looking for, from those produced as long ago as the 20th Century to those made as recently as the 21st Century. A high back bar stool is a generally popular piece of furniture, but those created in Mid-Century Modern, Louis XVI and Modern styles are sought with frequency. You’ll likely find more than one high back bar stool that is appealing in its simplicity, but Cleo Baldon, Terra Furniture and Ferguson Copeland produced versions that are worth a look.
How Much is a High Back Bar Stool?
A high back bar stool can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $1,475, while the lowest priced sells for $350 and the highest can go for as much as $12,500.
Finding the Right Stools for You
Stools are versatile and a necessary addition to any living room, kitchen area or elsewhere in your home. A sofa or reliable lounge chair might nab all the credit, comfort-wise, but don’t discount the roles that good antique, new and vintage stools can play.
“Stools are jewels and statements in a space, and they can also be investment pieces,” says New York City designer Amy Lau, who adds that these seats provide an excellent choice for setting an interior’s general tone.
Stools, which are among the oldest forms of wooden furnishings, may also serve as decorative pieces, even if we’re talking about a stool that is far less sculptural than the gracefully curving molded plywood shells that make up Sōri Yanagi’s provocative Butterfly stool.
Fawn Galli, a New York interior designer, uses her stools in the same way you would use a throw pillow. “I normally buy several styles and move them around the home where needed,” she says.
Stools are smaller pieces of seating as compared to armchairs or dining chairs and can add depth as well as functionality to a space that you’ve set aside for entertaining. For a splash of color, consider the Stool 60, a pioneering work of bentwood by Finnish architect and furniture maker Alvar Aalto. It’s manufactured by Artek and comes in a variety of colored seats and finishes.
Barstools that date back to the 1970s are now more ubiquitous in kitchens. Vintage barstools have seen renewed interest, be they a meld of chrome and leather or transparent plastic, such as the Lucite and stainless-steel counter stool variety from Indiana-born furniture designer Charles Hollis Jones, who is renowned for his acrylic works. A cluster of barstools — perhaps a set of four brushed-aluminum counter stools by Emeco or Tubby Tube stools by Faye Toogood — can encourage merriment in the kitchen. If you’ve got the room for family and friends to congregate and enjoy cocktails where the cooking is done, consider matching your stools with a tall table.
Whether you need counter stools, drafting stools or another kind, explore an extensive range of antique, new and vintage stools on 1stDibs.
