This large mid 19th century Victorian slipper chair is designed in the English Country House style and measures 83 cm high, 62 cm wide, and 85 cm deep, with a seat height of 40 cm. It is newly upholstered in a printed pink and cream linen copy, featuring an armless silhouette, a button-tufted backrest, a serpentine front rail, and a gathered pleated skirt concealing the frame. The structure stands on turned front legs and splayed rear legs fitted with original Cope & Collinson gilt brass castors. Suitable for placement in a bedroom, dressing room, or living room, this piece provides comfortable low-level seating. The traditional colour palette and patterned textile complement classic and transitional interiors, while the compact proportions make it adaptable for corners or beside dressing tables.

FAQs

Clean fabric using a soft brush attachment on a low-suction vacuum cleaner to remove dust particles. Keep the chair positioned away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber warping and fabric fading, and address spills immediately using neutral dry-cleaning fluids.

A Victorian slipper chair functions well as an accent piece in a bedroom corner, beside a dressing table, or within a reading nook. Its low silhouette allows it to add texture and historical character without obstructing sightlines across a room.

Authentic Victorian slipper chairs display characteristic low proportions, deep button-tufted upholstery, and subtle rearward pitch. Looking beneath the frame often reveals original webbing, square-headed iron screws, brass socket castors, and hand-carved wood joinery.

Mid-19th-century slipper chairs typically featured solid hardwood frames made from walnut, mahogany, or rosewood. Internal construction utilised hand-tied steel coil springs, natural jute webbing, horsehair or wool padding, and brass castors attached to the feet.

Originating in the 18th century and reaching peak popularity during the Victorian era, the slipper chair was designed with low seating and an armless profile. Its primary function was to allow ladies of high society to sit comfortably close to the floor while receiving assistance from maids when putting on shoes, stockings, or corsets.
