FAQs

French Louis XV salon chairs, or fauteuils, are defined by asymmetrical Rococo carving, fluid cabriole legs, curved seat rails, and padded armrests known as manchettes. Originating in 18th-century France, they were designed for formal conversation in aristocratic drawing rooms.

These frames were typically carved from hardwoods such as beech or walnut before being prepared with gesso. Real gold leaf was applied using water gilding or oil gilding techniques, accompanied by woven textile upholstery.

Authentic period armchairs display hand-carved construction marks, natural wear to the gilded gesso revealing underlying bole, and traditional joinery such as pegged mortise and tenon joints without modern screws.

Pairing giltwood chairs with simple modern sofas creates visual contrast through texture and tone. Reupholstering in contemporary neutral fabrics allows ornate carved frames to integrate smoothly into modern colour schemes.

Giltwood surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft microfibre cloth or dry feather duster without chemical polish or water, which degrades original gesso. Upholstery requires routine vacuuming on low suction with a soft brush attachment.
