FAQs

A fauteuil is a classic French armchair originating in the seventeenth century, characterised by an open wooden show frame, padded seat, padded backrest, and open armrests.

These chairs usually feature carved hardwood frames made from beech, walnut, or oak, often finished with paint or gilding, traditional upholstery stuffing, and decorative metal stud trim.

Look for neoclassical features such as fluted turned legs, medallion or oval backrests, floral carved crestings, and exposed wooden show frames displaying natural signs of age.

A carved fauteuil serves as an effective accent piece in contemporary living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways, providing structural contrast when placed alongside modern minimalist furniture.

Dust the wooden frame using a soft, dry cloth and apply natural beeswax sparingly, whilst gently vacuuming the upholstered sections on a low setting without harsh chemical detergents.
