FAQs

The Louis XV style, emerging in the 18th century, is characterised by asymmetrical curves, natural motifs, cabriole legs, and an absence of straight lines, focusing on comfort and elegance.

These pieces are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as beech or walnut, featuring hand-carved details, traditional joinery, and horsehair or cotton stuffing beneath the upholstery.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the hand-carved joinery, tool marks, patination of the wood, traditional stuffing materials, and period-appropriate hardware or textile weaves.

Pairing an ornate period settee with clean-lined, contemporary furnishings creates a balanced interior, allowing the historical piece to serve as a focal point without overwhelming the room.

Preservation involves keeping the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent textile fading, dusting the carved wooden frame with a dry cloth, and professional cleaning for the upholstery.
