Slipper chairs, characterized by their low seat and armless design, gained popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in drawing rooms and boudoirs. Their name derives from their intended use, where ladies would sit to put on their slippers, often requiring assistance due to their low height. These chairs were typically upholstered in luxurious fabrics, reflecting the wealth and status of their owners.
This particular pair are from the mid-19th century, a period known for its ornate furniture styles, including the French Napoleon III era. The damask upholstery with its intricate geometric pattern and the decorative tasseled fringe are hallmarks of the era's aesthetic. Such pieces were often part of larger salon suites designed to create a cohesive and elegant living space.
