Pair of Slipper Chairs Upholstered in Sheepskin, Europe 1960s

About the Item

The slipper chair first appeared in Europe during the late 1600s. They were given their name due to their low seat height and short legs. It was said that they looked like someone had put slippers on them - and that’s exactly what they were used for, a place to sit while slipping on shoes. The construction of these slipper chairs revolves around the use of high-quality materials, exceptional comfort and the mastery of European cabinetmakers. This pair exudes quality and personality from all angles; they have a characteristic organic shape with soft curves, perched on solid wood legs. The angular armrests complement the overall round feel of the chairs, and the seat is ever so slightly raised towards the front, while the back is tilted to provide great sitting comfort. The chairs have been recently reupholstered in premium sheepskin, which not only elevates the beauty of the stained wood frame, but also provides a look of elegant cosiness. In the 1950s and 60s, designer Billy Baldwin popularised using slipper chairs in living rooms. Today, slipper chairs are still popular among interior designers who want to add an element of sophistication and comfort to any space. These pieces always seem to come back in style due to their versatility; they can easily be dressed up with statement cushions and blankets for formal occasions, or make a subtle statement in any day-to-day living space. ‎Condition: In good vintage condition.
