FAQs

Louis XVI style armchairs, created during the late 18th century, are defined by Neoclassical architectural principles. Common features include symmetrical frames, straight fluted legs, carved oval or rectangular backs, and decorative motifs derived from ancient Greek and Roman design.

The frames were typically hand-carved from dense hardwoods like beech or walnut and finished with water gilding using gold leaf over a gesso base. The seats and backs were upholstered with woven textiles, often featuring Aubusson tapestry or silk damask.

Authentic period pieces display hand-carved wooden construction with peg joints, natural surface wear on the gold leaf showing reddish bole underneath, and signs of hand-loomed upholstery textiles. Modern reproductions often use composition moulding, chemical gilding, and machine stitching.

Formal giltwood armchairs can serve as striking accent seating in contemporary living rooms or foyers. Placing period seating alongside clean-lined minimalist furniture or tailored neutral upholstery creates a balanced, layered aesthetic.

Dust giltwood frames gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush to avoid flaking fragile gold leaf, avoiding water or liquid cleaners. Tapestry upholstery should be kept out of direct sunlight to prevent fibre degradation and cleaned using low-suction vacuuming through a protective screen.
