FAQs

The Louis XVI style emerged in France during the mid-18th century as a reaction against the excessive curves of the Rococo movement, embracing instead the classical symmetry and straight lines inspired by archaeological discoveries at Pompeii.

These pieces are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as beech or oak, featuring hand-carved classical motifs, exposed wooden frames, fluted legs, and traditional joinery methods.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct joinery, hand-carved detailing without modern tooling marks, appropriate patina on the wood frame, and traditional upholstery construction methods like horsehair stuffing and hand-tacking.

This seating piece works well as a refined focal point in a living room or bedroom, pairing effectively with minimalist modern furnishings to create a balanced, eclectic aesthetic.

Maintain the piece by keeping it out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, regularly dusting the carved wooden frame with a soft cloth, and utilising professional upholstery cleaning services when necessary.
