FAQs

The Regence style bridges the gap between the heavy, formal Baroque period of Louis XIV and the lighter, more fluid Rococo style of Louis XV, characterised by symmetrical carving, C-scrolls, and shell motifs.

These pieces were traditionally constructed from solid hardwoods such as beech or oak, which were then heavily carved, gessoed, and gilded with gold leaf or finished with painted details.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved joinery, traditional mortise and tenon construction, patinated giltwood surfaces, and period-appropriate upholstery techniques using natural fibres and webbing.

Pair the ornate wooden frame and textured upholstery with minimalist contemporary surroundings to create a striking contrast between historical craftsmanship and modern architectural lines.

Protect the fragile gilt surface from direct sunlight and moisture, dust gently with a soft dry cloth, and avoid chemical polishes that can degrade the gold leaf over time.
