Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in the 19th century, slipper chairs were designed as low-seated, armless chairs used primarily in womens dressing rooms. The low height enabled ladies to sit comfortably while putting on stockings, shoes, and corsets.

Victorian slipper chairs were typically crafted with solid hardwood frames, such as mahogany or walnut, featuring coil-sprung seats, horsehair stuffing, deep-buttoned fabric upholstery, and turned legs fitted with brass castors.

Authentic 19th-century examples feature hand-turned wooden legs, original stamped brass castors, precise deep-button tufting, and heavy timber framing. Maker stamps or serial numbers may also be present on the rear legs or undersides of frames produced by renowned cabinetmakers.

A slipper chair functions as a versatile accent piece in modern interiors, fitting neatly into bedroom corners, dressing areas, or flanking a living room fireplace to add historic texture and silhouette.

Regularly clean fabric using a soft brush vacuum attachment to remove dust without disturbing tufting. Keep the chair positioned away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, and apply natural beeswax to preserve the finish on turned wooden legs.
