What Is a Slipper Chair? (Including 15 Examples)

A slipper chair is an accent chair with no arms and sits lower to the ground than other chairs. These chairs were popular during the Victorian age, and used so that higher-class women had a place they could easily put on their slippers or shoes.

Slipper chairs are now referred to as accent chairs, and can come in all styles, fabric, and colors. They are no longer used for ladies but are an additional place to sit in the living room or other room in the house.

Just like with other pieces of furniture, slipper chairs vary in price based on materials and how in-demand they are. They can cost a few hundred or even a few thousand.

Slipper chairs make a pretty addition to a foyer with a small table next to it with a flower vase or other small piece of décor.
