FAQs

The Directoire style bridges Louis XVI and Empire periods, characterised by a transition toward restrained neoclassical lines, simpler geometries, and reduced ornamentation while retaining classical proportions.

These pieces typically feature solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over secondary timbers, accented with fire-gilt bronze mounts, marble inserts, and tapered legs joined with traditional mortise and tenon construction.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct joinery such as hand-cut dovetails in the drawer construction, age-related timber shrinkage, genuine mercury-gilt bronze mounts, and wear consistent with late eighteenth-century craftsmanship.

Pair these pieces with contemporary upholstery and minimalist walls to allow the rich mahogany tones and classical brass details to serve as sophisticated focal points in a living space or bedroom.

Maintain the timber by dusting with a dry, soft cloth and applying microcrystalline wax sparingly. Clean marble surfaces gently with a damp cloth, avoiding acidic solutions that can etch the stone.
