The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Louis XIV style furniture is defined by symmetry, grand proportions, and heavy ornamentation reflecting classical influence. Common features include gilded wood frames, intricate carvings of foliage or shells, high backrests, and sturdy turned or cabriole legs.

These armchairs were traditionally constructed using hard woods such as beech or oak for the frame, which was carved and coated with gesso before applying gold leaf gilding. Upholstery was completed using silk damask, velvet, or woven tapestry materials over horsehair padding.

Authentic period pieces display signs of age, such as natural wear to the gold leaf revealing the underlying red or yellow bole clay, hand-cut joinery like mortise and tenon joints, and subtle irregularities in hand-carved elements. Later reproductions often feature more uniform machine tooling and synthetic upholstery finishes.

A giltwood armchair functions as a focal statement piece when paired alongside minimalist, contemporary furniture to create a curated contrast. Position it in a quiet corner, beside a neutral fireplace, or as an accent in a dressing room to balance classical gilding with streamlined decor.

Giltwood frames should be dusted gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or abrasive cloths that can strip the delicate gold leaf layer. Textile upholstery requires soft vacuuming with a brush attachment and professional spot cleaning when necessary.
