FAQs

The French Empire style flourished during the early nineteenth century under Napoleon Bonaparte, drawing heavy aesthetic inspiration from the classical civilisations of ancient Greece and Rome.

Empire furniture typically utilises dense hardwoods such as walnut and mahogany, frequently accented with cast bronze or brass ormolu mounts, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and hand-tacked upholstery.

Authentic pieces exhibit construction details consistent with nineteenth-century handcraftsmanship, including hand-cut joinery, patinated hardwoods, traditional cast metal mounts, and period-appropriate internal stuffing materials.

These statement pieces function effectively as focal points in a traditional sitting room or library, paired with minimalist contemporary furnishings to create a balanced, curated aesthetic.

Maintain antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, applying microcrystalline wax periodically, and protecting upholstered surfaces with gentle vacuuming.
