Circa 1950 Slipper Lounge Chair
Low slipper lounges emerged through the late 1940s and 1950s as interiors moved away from formal upright seating toward relaxed, conversational living. This example carries that shift clearly, with its grounded stance, angled timber legs and compact upholstered body designed for informal rooms rather than display settings. The chair appears to have been reupholstered during the 1970s, a common second life for mid century seating, and now shows a frayed opening to the seat that reads as honest passage through time and signals the moment for its next renewal. As it stands, the wear adds character and narrative, offering either an atmosphere rich survivor or an ideal candidate for reupholstery while retaining its original proportions and presence.
Measures: 65 cm W × 79 cm D × 76 cm H (Seat 37 cm H)
