This mid 19th century Victorian slipper chair follows a country house style. The construction combines a mahogany frame with fabric upholstery and brass hardware. The light blue fabric displays a floral pattern, complemented by deep buttoning on the spoon backrest, spiral turned front legs, and original Cope & Collinson brass castors with wooden rear supports. The wood shows a warm medium-brown polished finish, while the seat exhibits minor marks with no holes. Measuring 83 cm high, 50 cm wide, and 67 cm deep with a 35 cm seat height, this compact seating piece suits placement in a bedroom, dressing room, or small sitting area. It functions as a comfortable accent chair beside a fireplace or dressing table in a traditional interior setting.

FAQs

A Victorian slipper chair is an armless, low-seated upholstered chair introduced during the 19th century. Originally created for womens dressing rooms to make putting on stockings and slippers easier, these chairs feature compact proportions and decorative woodwork.

Mid-19th-century slipper chairs were built with solid hardwood frames, predominantly mahogany, walnut, or rosewood. Internal construction utilized hand-tied steel coil springs, natural hair padding, cotton wadding, and turned legs fitted with brass castors.

Protect timber legs by applying clear beeswax and buffing along the grain, keeping brass castors clean. Upholstered fabrics require gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment and immediate spot-cleaning with appropriate textile cleaners.

Position a slipper chair in a bedroom corner, dressing room, or adjacent to a fireplace to provide low-profile seating. The compact, armless design allows it to function effectively in smaller spaces without obstructing light or sightlines.

Authentic period examples display hand-carved or spiral-turned timber legs, brass or porcelain socket castors, deep buttoned upholstery, and swept-back rear legs. The underside often shows hand-tacked webbing and original timber joinery.
