Best online vintage and second-hand furniture stores for design finds

Once a niche corner of the internet, the furniture resale market has surged over the past decade. Part of its appeal lies in a growing awareness that we need to consume less and value longevity over novelty. But there’s also something magnetic about a vintage Knoll credenza or Le Corbusier sofa – objects that carry the patina of time. There’s a particular appetite for modernist icons: the interior-sphere is positively brimming with Togo sofas, Eames lounge chairs and Arco floor lamps. Thankfully, a crop of online platforms has emerged to satiate the hunger for, perhaps, authenticity in an increasingly mass-produced world. As lovers of all things 20th century, we’ve compiled the best places to shop for vintage furniture online – marketplaces where interior designers and homeowners alike source second hand treasures that combine aesthetics with sustainability.

One of the largest global marketplaces connecting collectors, designers and dealers with rare pieces, 1stDibs offers everything from mid-century modern furniture to designer decor and museum-quality antiques. The platform places a strong focus on provenance, partnering with galleries and experts to ensure authenticity, making it the go-to destination for investment-grade design rather than casual resale.
