The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Directoire style emerged in France between 1795 and 1799, reflecting the transition between Louis XVI Neoclassicism and the Empire style. It is recognised by simplified classical forms, restraint in ornamentation, straight architectural lines, and subtle motifs inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity.

Craftsmen typically constructed frames from native woods such as beech, walnut, or fruitwood, which were frequently painted in soft muted tones like grey, ivory, or celadon. Upholstery often featured silk, velvet, or linen, secured with decorative gimp trimming or brass studs.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved details, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and natural wear to original painted patinas. Design markers include turned or fluted legs, square or concavely curved backrests, and delicate low-relief classical carving.

Positioning a pair of these armchairs flanking a console table or fireplace creates balanced symmetry in a living space or hallway. Their tailored silhouette allows them to integrate harmoniously into both minimalist contemporary settings and layered period schemes.

Dust painted surfaces gently using a dry, soft brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding abrasive polishes or water. Silk upholstery must be kept away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric degradation and should only be cleaned by professional upholstery specialists.
