About the Item

This elegant slipper chair dates from the 19th century and reflects the refined taste of Napoleon III seating furniture. The chair features a generously cushioned seat and a gracefully curved backrest, upholstered in a soft grey velvet with deep button tufting that enhances both comfort and style. The simplicity of the upholstery allows the craftsmanship of the frame to stand out, particularly the finely turned front legs, crafted from beech wood, which terminate in their original brass castors. The rear legs are slightly splayed, giving the piece both balance and charm. Designed as a low occasional chair, this model was typically placed in dressing rooms or salons, offering comfort without compromising elegance. Today, it works beautifully as an accent piece in both traditional and contemporary interiors. With its timeless silhouette, quality materials, and authentic 19th-century character, this slipper chair will bring sophistication and warmth to any living space.
