Antique slipper chairs were made from about 1940 – 1900 in a few different styles including Rococo, Renaissance Revival, Queen Anne and Victorian.  Slipper chairs were about 15 inches from the floor and thus had short legs and were mainly used in a ladies bedroom. Ladies of the Victorian era wore many clothes and in most cases needed a lot of help getting dressed. Remember that this was the era of laced corsets as well as camisoles and petticoats. So after putting on all that clothing, they needed even more help donning their long stockings and shoes. Thus, the slipper chair was born; a comfortable chair with short legs that a woman could use to sit and put on her stockings and slippers.
