FAQs

The fauteuil originated in France during the early 18th century, characterised by its open wooden arms and upholstered back and seat, becoming a staple of refined salon culture.

Authentic period fauteuils are traditionally constructed from carved hardwoods such as beech or walnut, finished with gold leaf or gesso, and joined using traditional mortise and tenon methods.

Authentication involves examining the hand-carved details for tool marks, inspecting the ageing of the wood and gilt finish, and assessing the traditional joinery and upholstery webbing.

These armchairs serve as striking accent pieces and can be juxtaposed with minimalist modern architecture or integrated into a classic scheme to add textural contrast and historical depth.

Preservation requires keeping the chairs out of direct sunlight to prevent textile fading, dusting the carved gilt frame gently with a dry microfiber cloth, and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners.
