FAQs

Originating in the 18th century, a slipper chair is a low-slung, armless upholstered seat designed to assist ladies in dressing and putting on footwear. By the 19th century, these chairs evolved into popular decorative accent pieces for private bedrooms, boudoirs, and drawing rooms.

Traditional 19th-century slipper chairs were built around solid hardwood internal frames, typically mahogany, oak, or walnut. Upholstery involved natural horsehair padding, metal coil springs, woven webbing, and decorative embellishments like bullion fringe and button tufting.

Authentic period examples feature hand-stitched upholstery techniques, original brass castors beneath the fringing or legs, hand-turned wooden frame joinery, and proportional low seat heights without arms.

A slipper chair works exceptionally well in dressing rooms, bedroom corners, or alongside low coffee tables in living spaces. Its low profile allows it to provide comfortable seating without visually obstructing sightlines or room flow.

Vacuum the fabric regularly on a low suction setting using a soft brush attachment to prevent dust accumulation in the tufting. Keep the item out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, and clean silk or cotton fringe using gentle, professional cleaning methods.
