FAQs

A French Louis XV style fauteuil is an open-armchair characterised by an exposed wooden frame, cabriole legs, and padded armrests called manchettes. Originating in 18th-century France, these chairs feature sweeping serpentine curves and carved detailing.

Traditional French armchairs typically feature hand-carved hardwood frames, such as beech or walnut, finished with painted gesso or distressed milk paint. Traditional upholstery incorporates woven textiles over layered horsehair padding.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved mortise and tenon joinery, subtle asymmetry in scrollwork, and natural paint layer oxidisation. Inspecting the underside reveals hand-hewn wood markings rather than machine-cut timber.

A painted French fauteuil serves as an accent chair in contemporary living areas, bedrooms, or studies. Pairing distressed timber frames with modern geometric fabrics creates a contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern textile design.

Clean painted wooden frames gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh solvents or abrasive polish that could compromise the original paint finish. Vacuum the upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment.
