This beautiful antique white upholstered Victorian slipper chair with deep button back detailing has front castors and is a gorgeous example of the early 1900's slipper chairs. The chair has a dark stained solid wooden frame (normally walnut) with carved cabriole legs and measures 58cm across the front x 51cm wide x 81cm high (the seat is 37cm off the floor). The chair only has castors on the front legs (its designed that way). The chair has normal age and usage related wear and tear and the white upholstery fabric could do with a light clean.
From the internet: The slipper chair first appeared in the 18th century. One would commonly find this chair in ladys quarters. Born out of necessity, women used it to assist with everyday dressing due to the heavy dressing of the period. However, American interior designer Billy Baldwin brought them into living rooms with a redesign and saw their popularity rise again. Its initial designs saw it adorned with plush materials and ornate carvings, but more modern interpretations see it appear more streamlined.
