FAQs

Slipper chairs, known in France as chauffeuses, are low-seated, armless upholstered chairs created during the Second Empire period (18521870). Originally designed for dressing rooms to facilitate putting on shoes, they feature plush upholstery and compact proportions.

Chairs from this period typically feature hardwood frames, often concealed entirely by upholstery, traditional coil spring seats, horsehair padding, rich velvet or damask textiles, and decorative trimmings such as fringe or passementerie.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-stitched upholstery under-layers, solid timber internal framing with hand-cut joinery, low seat heights without arms, and original brass castors fitted to small turned legs.

These low-profile armless chairs function effectively as accent seating in a master bedroom suite, adjacent to a fireplace, or placed as a pair opposite a main sofa in a formal drawing room.

Clean textiles using a low-suction vacuum with a soft brush attachment, avoid direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, and consult a specialist textile conservator for stain removal or re-upholstery.
