Why You’ll Love It

This exquisite OOAK Victorian-style slipper chair by miniature artist Jill Dianne captures the graceful elegance of Rococo and Louis XV furniture in perfectly scaled miniature form. Designed in the traditional armless slipper chair style, this type of seat historically allowed women in voluminous gowns to sit comfortably while dressing, reading, or tending to children, making it a quintessential piece of refined Victorian interior furniture.

The chair has been beautifully crafted from hand-carved wood and finished with a softly aged gilded frame featuring delicate ornamental carvings and flowing Rococo curves. The upholstery is rendered in luxurious moss-green mohair velvet, carefully applied to both the front and back, allowing the piece to be displayed attractively from any angle within a room setting.

At the crest of the backrest sits a charming needlepoint-style floral medallion, reminiscent of 18th-century French tapestry designs, framed by elegant gold cord trim that follows the contours of the chair. The sculpted frame flows into delicate short cabriole legs, a hallmark of Louis XV design, each terminating in tiny brass caster feet that reflect the mobility and refinement of antique salon seating.

Signed on the underside by Jill Dianne, this remarkable miniature reflects the artist’s talent for recreating the romance and craftsmanship of antique French furniture.

It pairs beautifully with the matching Rococo salon sofa settee and the armchair version, both listed separately.
