FAQs

A fauteuil is a classic French armchair characterised by an open wooden structure, upholstered seat, backrest, and padded armrests known as manchettes. Originating in seventeenth-century France, these chairs evolved through various monarchical eras, with Louis XVI examples featuring straight lines and fluted legs.

Traditional French fauteuils were carved from solid hardwoods such as beech, walnut, or oak. The frames were painted using chalk- or milk-based paints, often distressed, while interior padding relied on natural materials including horsehair, jute webbing, and steel coil springs covered in linen or cotton fabrics.

Authentic period armchairs feature hand-carved joinery secured with wooden pegs rather than modern screws or nails. Look for subtle variations in carved details, signs of historical re-upholstery along the frame edge, and natural wear patterns on paintwork where hands and arms rest.

Pairing painted French armchairs with contemporary minimalist sofas creates an engaging architectural contrast. Placed as a pair opposite a low-profile sofa or positioned individually in a bedroom corner, their classical proportions add texture and historical depth to neutral interiors.

Vacuum upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust without distressing fibres. Dust painted wood frames using a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical sprays or water that could lift historic paint layers.
