FAQs

The Louis XV style, emerging in 18th-century France, is characterised by asymmetrical ornamentation, curved lines, and floral motifs, moving away from the rigid symmetry of earlier periods.

These pieces typically feature carved solid hardwoods such as beech or walnut, joined with traditional mortise and tenon techniques, and finished with hand-applied gilding or painted surfaces.

Authentic pieces often display hand-carved details, traditional joinery without modern fasteners, natural wear on the gilt or paint layers, and horsehair or period stuffing beneath the upholstery.

Pair the piece with clean-lined, modern furnishings to create a striking contrast, using the ornate carvings and textured upholstery as a focal point in a neutral room.

Maintain the wood with a soft, dry cloth, avoid direct sunlight to protect the textile colours, and consult a professional conservator for upholstery cleaning.
