FAQs

French rococo seating, popularised during the 18th century under Louis XV, is characterised by asymmetrical carved ornamentation, cabriole legs, and curving serpentine lines designed for comfort and elegance.

These frames were traditionally crafted from hardwoods such as walnut or beech, featuring mortise and tenon joinery, hand-carved details, and traditional stuffing materials like horsehair, wool, and linen webbing.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved tool marks, aged wood patination, traditional joinery without modern fasteners, and wear patterns consistent with age rather than artificial distress.

Pairing antique carved wood seating with clean-lined modern architecture and neutral textiles creates a balanced, layered aesthetic that highlights the historical craftsmanship.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels away from direct sunlight and heat sources, clean the wood occasionally with microfibre cloths, and avoid harsh chemical polishes.
