Questions About Small Unusual Chairs
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023
    Small chairs are often called slipper chairs. The first examples date back to the Victorian era, when they often appeared in women's dressing areas. Their low height made it easy for women wearing the bulky corsets and petticoats of the time to sit down so that someone could help them get their slippers or shoes on. Even though people primarily use these chairs in sitting areas today, the name has stuck. Explore an assortment of slipper chairs on 1stDibs.
