FAQs

A fauteuil is an upholstered open-arm chair with a wooden frame, originating in France during the 17th century and evolving through various royal periods such as Louis XIV, XV, and XVI.

These chairs typically feature a carved hardwood frame finished with gesso and gold leaf or paint, traditional joinery, and horsehair or cotton stuffing secured with webbed or coil-sprung foundations.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved details rather than cast resin, traditional joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon, aged patination on the gilding, and period-appropriate upholstery webbing and textiles.

Pairing these ornate chairs with minimalist, modern furnishings creates a balanced aesthetic where the historical craftsmanship acts as a focal point without overwhelming the space.

Gilded surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical cleaners or excessive moisture to protect the delicate gold leaf layer.
