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.

These 19th-century Victorian bedroom chairs from Howard and Sons form a matched pair of low-profile seats with armless designs and deep-buttoned backs. They are upholstered in blue and white floral ticking fabric, supported by turned wooden legs fitted with brass castors. One chair exhibits gilt legs with surface losses, while the other features walnut legs with original castors. Both pieces show restored upholstery and stamped legs. One chair measures 58 cm wide by 69 cm deep by 69 cm height, with a 34 cm seat height and 50 cm seat depth, and the second chair measures 59 cm wide by 71 cm deep by 73 cm height. These compact chairs suit placement in a bedroom or a small seating area.

FAQs

Victorian bedroom chairs, often called slipper chairs, were designed with a low seat height and an armless silhouette to assist individuals while dressing. They commonly feature deep-buttoned upholstery, padded backs, and short turned wooden legs.

High-quality Victorian upholstery utilised solid hardwood frames, such as beech, combined with coil springs, webbed support, and natural fillings like horsehair and hair-padding, finished with brass castors.

Authentic pieces by Howard and Sons typically feature stamped rear legs with the makers name or number, stamped brass castors, and original monogrammed fabric lining on the underside of the frame.

Position them as a pair at the foot of a bed, flank a fireplace, or place them in an unused dressing room corner to provide tailored seating without obstructing eye level or architectural details.

Lightly vacuum fabric upholstery using a soft brush attachment, avoid placing timber legs near direct heat sources to prevent cracking, and apply a neutral beeswax paste to polished wood legs periodically.
