FAQs

The French Empire style emerged during the early 19th century, drawing heavy inspiration from ancient Roman, Greek, and Egyptian forms. It is characterised by architectural symmetry, austere geometric lines, and classical ornamentation.

These pieces typically feature solid timber frames and veneer construction, often utilising mahogany or fruitwoods over a secondary wood base. They are commonly finished with a marble top and cast brass or gilt-bronze mounts.

Authenticity is determined by examining construction details such as hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer boxes, traditional timber shrinkage patterns, old fixings, and the natural patina of the wood and metal hardware.

Pairing this historic furniture piece with neutral walls and minimalist contemporary art creates a balanced contrast. It functions effectively as a statement storage unit in a living room or hallway.

Maintain the wood by dusting with a soft, dry cloth and occasionally applying traditional beeswax to nourish the finish. Protect the marble top from acidic liquids and harsh chemical cleaners to prevent etching.
