FAQs

The Louis XV style is characterised by asymmetrical curves, naturalistic motifs, cabriole legs, and an emphasis on grace and elegance over rigid symmetry.

These pieces typically feature fine hardwoods such as kingwood, walnut, or mahogany, frequently accented with marquetry, gilt bronze or brass mounts, and inset marble tops.

Authenticity is assessed by examining construction techniques, such as hand-cut dovetails, the type of wood used for secondary framing, natural wear patterns on the bronze mounts, and the patina of the timber.

An etagere serves as a versatile accent piece that adds textural contrast and historical depth, functioning effectively as a bedside surface, a display stand, or a sophisticated side table in a contemporary living space.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners or excessive moisture, using specialised wax sparingly on wood and neutral stone soap for marble surfaces.
