FAQs

The Louis XVI style emerged in France during the late 18th century, characterised by a return to classical symmetry, straight lines, fluted columns, and neoclassical motifs, moving away from the preceding curved Rococo aesthetic.

Traditional fauteuils were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as beech or walnut, which were then hand-carved, gessoed, and finished with leaf gilding or paint, before being traditionally upholstered using horsehair and webbed suspension.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved detailing with minor tool marks, traditional joinery methods such as mortise and tenon, and historical wear patterns in the gesso and gold leaf revealing the red bole or white gesso base underneath.

Such armchairs work effectively as statement accent pieces in contemporary living spaces, contrasting sharply against minimalist backdrops, modern neutral walls, or paired with clean-lined architectural furniture to create a balanced eclectic scheme.

Preserve antique giltwood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and humidity fluctuations, dusting gently with a soft dry brush, and avoiding harsh chemical polishes that can lift or dissolve fragile gold leaf layers.
