The Antiques Hound has dated this Victorian Spindle Slipper Chair to the 19th Century.
This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.
What immediately sets this chair apart is its beautiful open mahogany back.
Unlike the more commonly encountered fully upholstered slipper chairs, this open-back design allows the warm mahogany timber to become an important part of the chair's character and gives it a particularly elegant silhouette.
The chair has handsome turned wooden legs and retains ceramic castors to both the front and rear legs, an especially lovely period detail which also makes the chair easy to move.
The seat is upholstered in a clean floral chintz, with delicate pink and blue flowers and trailing foliage on a soft cream ground. The fabric gives the chair a fresh English country-house feel and works beautifully with the warm, aged timber.
A highly decorative and unusual antique chair, perfect as a bedroom or dressing-room chair, or equally at home as an occasional chair in a sitting room, hallway or country-house interior.
A lovely example for anyone looking for something a little different from the usual fully upholstered Victorian slipper chair.
