A slipper chair is a low-slung, armless upholstered chair that originated in the 18th century and gained immense popularity during the Victorian era. Originally designed for dressing rooms to assist ladies with putting on stockings and shoes, these chairs feature compact proportions and a low seat height.

High-end 19th-century upholstered seating generally utilised solid hardwood frames, such as beech or mahogany, combined with hand-tied steel coil springs, natural hair filling, turned wooden legs, and stamped brass castors.

Authentic pieces by Howard & Sons frequently feature maker stamps on the inside of the rear legs, impressions on the brass castors, or original printed monogram lining fabric on the underside of the frame.

An antique slipper chair functions as an accent piece in a master bedroom, dressing room, or quiet reading nook. Its low profile allows it to sit comfortably alongside modern side tables without overwhelming smaller spaces.

Fabric upholstery should be vacuumed regularly using a soft brush attachment and kept out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Metal elements such as brass castors can be cleaned gently with a dry microfiber cloth to maintain their natural patina.
