About the Item
An antique French Slipper Chair from the Louis-Philippe period, circa 1830s, distinguished by its softly rounded, fully traditionally upholstered in natural fibres, it is exceptionally comfortable and supportive.
During the 19th Century, chairs in France were not mass produced, they were made by the regional chair maker for the client, taking into consideration both their physical proportions and the space in which they were to fit. Tehy were made to a far higher quality than most chairs today hence the comfort and longevity.
This particular chair was made as a hybrid of both a slipper chair and crapaud (tub chair) with the most usable features of both.
Originally, designed to assist ladies in their dressing, in particular, pulling on their stockings which is why today, the Slipper Chair is still so sought after for bedrooms, dressing rooms and smaller salons where relaxed, informal seating is preferred.
The chair has been covered in the beautiful small-scale floral glazed linen Sweat Pea from the current Soane Britain collection. Seat Pea by Soane sells at £270 pm making the overall price exceptional value.
Finished with a ruffled skirt, the chair has been traditionally upholstered using natural materials, including horsehair, in keeping with period practices.
This combination of an early nineteenth-century French frame with a carefully chosen contemporary textile results in a characterful piece.
