The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Louis XVI giltwood armchairs, or fauteuils, are defined by Neoclassical proportions, straight lines, geometric symmetry, and refined carved ornamentation. Common features include oval medallion backrests, fluted or spiralled tapered legs, and carved arm supports with padded elbow pads called manchettes.

These frames were typically carved from hardwoods such as beech or walnut before being prepared with layers of chalky gesso. Gold leaf was applied using traditional water gilding techniques, while the upholstery incorporated natural fillings like horsehair and jute webbing covered in silk damask, brocade, or velvet.

Authentic period pieces show evidence of hand-carved joinery, peg construction beneath the seat rails, and natural wear to the gilded gesso revealing the red or grey clay bole beneath. Modern reproductions tend to use sprayed bronze paint, machine-turned components, and uniform synthetic upholstery materials.

A pair of gilded fauteuils can serve as focal accent seating in a modern living room or entrance hall. Pairing ornate gilt frames with contemporary minimalist architecture, neutral walls, or modern abstract artwork creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Giltwood frames should be dusted gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or camel hair brush without applying liquid cleaners, which can dissolve water gilding. Upholstery requires light brushing or low-suction vacuuming, while placement should be kept away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent wood shrinkage and textile fading.
