FAQs

Originating in the 18th century and widely produced throughout the 19th century, slipper chairs are low-slung, armless upholstered chairs. They were originally designed for ladies dressing rooms to facilitate sitting comfortably while putting on stockings and footwear.

19th-century slipper chairs typically feature solid hardwood frames, such as mahogany or walnut, with hand-turned legs fitted with brass or ceramic castors. The interior upholstery traditionally incorporated steel coil springs, natural hair padding, and hessian webbing.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved or turned wooden front legs, traditional joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon joints, original brass castors, and a low seat height usually positioned around 35 to 40 centimetres from the floor.

A slipper chair functions as a compact accent piece ideal for placement in bedroom corners, dressing areas, or living rooms where low sightlines are preferred. Its armless profile allows it to fit neatly into smaller spaces without visually crowding the room.

Regularly vacuum the fabric using a soft brush attachment to prevent dust accumulation. Wooden legs should be kept clear of direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage, and brass castors should be lightly cleaned with a dry cloth to preserve their natural patina.
