FAQs

The Napoleon III style, spanning the Second French Empire, is characterised by an eclectic revival of historical periods, heavily incorporating Louis XIV, XV, and XVI influences with opulent gilding, curved lines, and plush upholstery.

These pieces typically feature a carved hardwood frame finished with gold leaf or gilt gesso, traditional joinery, and horsehair or cotton stuffing secured with coil springs.

Authenticity is determined by examining the wood aging, the application of hand-applied gold leaf rather than modern metallic paint, traditional hand-tied upholstery underpinnings, and period-appropriate hardware such as castors.

They serve as striking contrast pieces when paired with minimalist modern tables or neutral palettes, bringing a layer of historic texture and metallic warmth to a contemporary space.

Gilt surfaces are extremely delicate and should only be cleaned with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. Avoid all chemical solvents, moisture, and direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the metallic leaf.
