A distinctive pair of circa 1930s–1940s slipper chairs with dramatic scroll-over backs, low armless profiles, tailored skirts and golden yellow floral damask upholstery.
Broad rolled crests sweep forward into deeply shaped upholstered side panels, giving the chairs an especially graceful profile from every angle. The tone-on-tone damask is woven with traditional floral and foliate motifs, with coordinating piping emphasizing the curves of the frame. Compact and versatile, the pair works beautifully as fireside seating, bedroom chairs or accent chairs in a living room or dressing room. Small casters beneath the skirts allow for easy movement.
JUNE'S THOUGHTS
What attracts me most to these chairs is the profile. From the front they are pretty, traditional slipper chairs, but viewed from the side, they become much more interesting. The graceful scroll of the back gives them a distinctive silhouette that deserves to be seen. I especially like them positioned where at least one chair can be viewed partially from the side—flanking a fireplace, angled into a conversation area, or placed together at the foot of a bed.

Upholstery is intact and presents well overall, with age-appropriate wear and subtle tonal variation consistent with use. The photographs were taken outdoors in changing sunlight, which causes portions of the seats and backs to appear considerably lighter; the upholstery is more even in color than some photographs suggest. Minor surface wear and small imperfections may be present consistent with age. Skirting and piping remain intact. Small casters are present beneath the chairs.
