FAQs

Originating in mid-to-late 19th-century France during the Second Empire, Napoleon III slipper chairsor chauffeusesare characterised by low-slung, armless silhouettes designed originally for dressing rooms or sitting close to a fireplace.

These chairs typically feature solid hardwood frames, turned ebonised or natural timber legs, brass castors, and deep coil spring upholstery padded with natural hair and webbed backing.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-turned wooden legs, original brass castors, hand-tied coil springs, and traditional structural joinery rather than modern foam stuffing or staple construction.

Slipper chairs work effectively positioned as a pair at the foot of a bed, flanking a fireplace alcove, or providing compact seating in living spaces without obstructing sightlines.

Keep textile upholstery out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, regularly vacuum using a soft brush attachment, and maintain wooden legs with natural wax polish while keeping brass castors clean.
