FAQs

Originating in the nineteenth century, slipper chairs were low-slung, armless upholstered seats designed primarily for ladies dressing rooms or boudoirs to facilitate changing footwear and garments.

These chairs traditionally feature solid hardwood frames, such as mahogany or walnut, spring-stuffed upholstery with horsehair padding, deep buttoning, and hand-turned front legs fitted with brass castors.

Authentic examples feature hand-turned wooden legs often stamped with maker marks or numbers, traditional webbing and coil spring upholstery, original brass castors, and a distinctively low seat height without arms.

A slipper chair works well in a bedroom corner, dressing room, or flanking a fireplace, providing a compact footprint while adding texture through reupholstery in velvet, linen, or heritage wool.

Vacuum fabrics regularly with a soft brush attachment, keep hardwood legs conditioned with beeswax, avoid direct sunlight to prevent timber drying or fabric fading, and inspect castors periodically.
