    Have had this old chair sitting in a bedroom for a long time. Got it from a grandmother who also kept it in a bedroom for many years. Just decorative I guess. No one ever sits in it. Kind of low anyway. Victorian in style maybe?

    Likely low and wide for a lady.

    Agree that it doesn't look American. Guessing French, walnut frame, ca. 1860-70, slipper chair, so-called because of the high back.

    Are the castors likely a later addition?

    No, castors were the norm at that time.

    Seeing a pattern here. Think my grandmother was into french furniture. Think a few other pieces I own are french as well. Will post another time just to make sure. Thank you guys.
