Help identifying chair?

[Ipcress]

In the UK you might see this referred to as a slipper or bedroom chair.

Lovely example and would do better than $75 in the UK.

It may be in the UK !!  Style looks typically English !! Not many people here use the term Edwardian,, except for Ghopper ocassionally !!

Plus the modern furniture in the pic is popular in England.

Clues, lovely clues.

What do you call those chairs that women use when applying makeup? It's almost like a stool but shaped like a small chair, you see them in large bathrooms in USA now where you have a long row of vanities/sinks and in between the sinks is a low vanity where the makeup thingy happens. Anyway, one of those kinda chairs, only victorian version?

Boudoir chairs or vanity chairs !!

Boudoir chair works pretty well. I'll stick with walnut.

Nursing chairs would typically collapse like a camp stool when lifted from the top rail, then could be "unfolded" at a new location. The reason is that there would typically be a baby in one arm, a chair in another. So it had to be portable. Thus the correct supposition that casters would not be a likely part of the equation.

Oh yes, many nursing chairs were also rockers.

Typically vanities had smaller stools or chairs that could push up/under.  This appears to be a wider chair than older vanities would typically take.

It sure is a beauty!

Yeah, you are probably right, i have no idea what the function of this chair was/is, still, appears to be very high quality victorian piece.
