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.

This pair of 19th-century Victorian bedroom armchairs by Howard and Sons exhibits a low seat profile measuring 60 cm in width, 78 cm in depth, and 90 cm in height with a 32 cm seat height and 48 cm seat depth. The traditional construction incorporates horsehair fillings, a sprung seat, and turned walnut legs at the front fitted with original Cope and Collinson brass castors. One armchair retains its unprinted cream calico under-upholstery while the other wears a patterned light blue and grey decorative fabric, both finished with a deep button back and rolled arms. Suitable for placement in a traditional bedroom or country house living space, these armchairs provide low-slung seating. The timber legs show natural grain variations in the wood, and the upholstery displays structural elements of the restoration process, pairing a raw fabric finish with a patterned exterior.

FAQs

Victorian slipper and bedroom chairs are low-seated upholstered armchairs, originally designed without arms or with minimal arm rests to allow individuals to sit comfortably while dressing. They commonly feature deep button-tufted upholstery, short turned timber legs, and brass castors.

High-quality nineteenth-century upholstery utilised solid hardwood frames, typically walnut, mahogany, or beech, along with hand-tied steel coil springs, natural horsehair stuffing, layered hessian, and brass castor fittings.

Authentic Howard and Sons pieces frequently feature stamped marks on the rear legs or brass castors, original grain fabric under-upholstery woven with the makers name, or serial numbers impressed directly into the timber frame.

These low-profile chairs function well as accent seating in bedrooms, dressing areas, or flanking a fireplace in a living space. Re-upholstering in contemporary linen or textured wool bridges the gap between historical form and modern aesthetics.

Maintain timber legs with beeswax polish, ensuring metal castors remain clean and lightly lubricated. Vacuum upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment and address fabric stains using specialist dry-cleaning techniques suitable for historic textiles.
