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.

A fauteuil is an open-backed armchair with upholstered pads on the armrests, originating in 18th-century France. Unlike a bergere, which features solid upholstered sides, the fauteuil maintains open space between the seat and armrests, reflecting the light design preferred in French drawing rooms.

Armchairs from this era were typically constructed using solid hardwoods such as beech, oak, or walnut for the hand-carved frames. Upholstery traditionally relied on natural fibres like linen, hemp, jute, horsehair padding, and hand-laced steel coil springs.

Louis XV revival pieces from the late 19th century feature characteristic rococo design elements, including cabriole legs, carved scrollwork, serpentine seat rails, and curved cresting rails. Examination of hand-carved details, traditional joint construction, and historic paint layers helps establish age.

Pairing painted French armchairs with contemporary minimalism provides texture and architectural contrast. Placing a pair opposite a modern sofa or within a quiet reading corner creates a balanced mix of historical form and functional seating.

Clean painted timber frames gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or brush, avoiding harsh liquid solvents or abrasive polishes that could lift delicate painted finishes. Keep upholstered fabrics vacuumed regularly on low suction and position the chairs away from direct heat sources to prevent wood movement.
