This nineteenth-century French Napoleon III slipper chair takes the form of an armless upholstered seat finished with deep buttoning across the padded backrest. The piece uses ebonised wood for its turned front legs, which stand on small brass castors supporting the base structure. The upholstery consists of a gold and soft blue striped floral damask fabric covering both the curved back and the low seat. The wooden legs display ring-turned detailing and dark ebonising, while the back features structured pleats secured with fabric-covered buttons in vertical rows. The chair measures 74 cm high, 53 cm wide, and 66 cm deep overall, with specific dimensions including a seat depth of 46 cm and a floor-to-seat height of 36 cm. Placement suits domestic settings requiring compact occasional seating, such as a bedroom dressing area, a living room fireside, or a quiet reading corner. The low profile and absence of arms allow the furniture piece to tuck easily beside a fireplace or beneath a window. Owners can utilise the seat as an independent accent item or position it alongside complementary bedroom furniture to provide extra sitting space for guests.

FAQs

Originally designed in 18th-century France, a slipper chair is an armless, low-slung upholstered seat intended to assist ladies with dressing and putting on shoes in private boudoirs.

Authentic 19th-century examples typically feature solid hardwood internal frames, turned wooden legs with brass castors, coil spring webbing, and original silk, satin, or velvet damask upholstery.

Look for traditional frame construction techniques including hand-cut joinery, original ceramic or brass castors on turned front legs, hand-tied coil springs, and deep button tufting across the backrest.

Place the low-profile piece in a bedroom corner, beside a dressing table, or within a sitting room reading nook to introduce historical silhouette contrast alongside streamlined contemporary furnishings.

Keep wooden components dusted with a dry microfibre cloth, position the piece away from direct sunlight to minimise fabric degradation, and consult a specialist restorer when replacing period textiles or seat webbing.
