FAQs

The Louis XVI style emerged in France during the 18th century as a reaction against the curves of Rococo, favouring classical restraint, straight lines, symmetry, and motifs inspired by ancient Greece and Rome.

These chairs are traditionally constructed from hardwood timbers such as walnut, beech, or oak, frequently finished with gilding, paint, or polish, and upholstered in rich textiles like silk damask or brocade.

Authentication involves examining joinery methods, tool marks, timber shrinkage, and the type of webbing and stuffing used in the upholstery, as older pieces exhibit hand-carved details and period-appropriate construction techniques.

Pairing these classical chairs with a minimalist contemporary dining table creates a striking juxtaposition that highlights their sculptural form and adds historical contrast to a modern room.

Preservation requires keeping wooden frames away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, using microfibre cloths for dusting, and protecting delicate upholstery with professional cleaning methods.
