FAQs

The Louis XV style, emerging in France during the 18th century, is characterised by asymmetrical designs, natural motifs, and a shift away from geometric rigidity towards fluid, organic curves.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as beech or walnut, featuring traditional joinery like mortise and tenon, hand-carved details, and cabriole legs.

Authenticity is determined by examining wood ageing, tool marks from hand-carving, traditional joinery methods, and the type of upholstery webbing and stuffing used in the seat construction.

Pair these chairs with a contemporary minimalist dining table to create a striking contrast between modern lines and traditional, ornate curves.

Protect the wood finish with appropriate wax polishes, keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, and use professional cleaning methods for the upholstery.
