The Louis XV style, also known as Rococo, originated in France during the 18th century, characterised by asymmetrical ornamentation, curved lines, and natural motifs such as floral carvings.

Authentic pieces were predominantly constructed from native European hardwoods like walnut, beech, or oak, often featuring hand-carved details and traditional upholstery methods using horsehair and natural textiles.

Identification relies on examining joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon, hand-cut dovetails, tool marks on the wood, the ageing of the timber, and the presence of traditional hand-carving rather than machine moulding.

Such pieces function effectively as accent or occasional seating, providing a historical focal point when contrasted against minimalist modern architecture and neutral colour palettes.

Maintenance requires keeping pieces away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber cracking, dusting with a dry microfibre cloth, and occasionally applying appropriate natural wax.
