FAQs

The Louis XVI style emerged in France during the late 18th century, marked by a return to classical straight lines, symmetry, and architectural motifs inspired by Greco-Roman excavations, contrasting sharply with the preceding Rococo curves.

Authentic period pieces were predominantly crafted from solid hardwoods such as oak and walnut, often featuring hand-carved decorative elements, traditional joinery, and natural wax or French polished finishes.

Authentication involves examining the construction methods for hand-cut joints, inspecting the timber for age-related oxidisation and shrinkage, and looking for signs of hand-carving rather than modern machine routing.

An antique bed functions well as a focal point in a contemporary bedroom when balanced with minimalist neutral linens, understated lighting, and clean-walled surroundings to highlight the craftsmanship.

Preservation requires keeping wooden furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish and protect the finish.
