Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

This Victorian slipper chair originates from the 19th century and carries an attribution to Lamb of Manchester. The armless seat has a curved spoon-back profile and a giltwood frame finished in bright gold, paired with dusty pink upholstery. Detailed elements include carved cresting at the top of the backrest, turned front legs bearing brass castors with small ceramic wheels, and curved rear legs. The construction retains its original horsehair fillings and new soft pink linen covering. Measuring 94 cm high, 51 cm wide, and 74 cm deep, with a seat height of 41 cm, the chair functions well as an accent seat in a bedroom, dressing room, or drawing room.

FAQs

Originating in the 18th century and reaching peak popularity during the Victorian era, slipper chairs were designed with low seats and armless profiles to assist ladies while putting on shoes and dressing.

These chairs are typically constructed from carved hardwoods such as beech or pine, coated with gesso, and finished using gold leaf gilding techniques over woven webbing and velvet upholstery.

Authentic pieces display natural wear to the gilded surface where the underlying red or grey bole preparation shows through, along with period-correct brass castors and occasional maker stamps on the seat frame.

A slipper chair functions effectively as a decorative accent piece in a master bedroom, dressing room, or adjacent to a fireplace in a contemporary living space.

Giltwood frames should be gently dusted with a soft, dry cloth without liquid cleaners, while velvet upholstery requires delicate vacuuming with a soft brush attachment and protection from direct sunlight.
