FAQs

The Louis XV style is characterised by asymmetrical ornamentation, curved lines, cabriole legs, and elaborate floral carvings, reflecting the opulent tastes of 18th-century France.

These pieces are typically constructed from solid hardwoods like beech or oak, finished with a layer of gesso, and meticulously gilded with genuine gold leaf or metal leaf before being traditionally upholstered.

Authenticity is determined by examining the hand-carved details, the natural ageing and oxidisation of the gesso and gold leaf beneath, traditional joinery methods such as mortise and tenon, and hand-forged fixings.

Pairing ornate historic seating with minimalist architecture and neutral textiles creates a sophisticated contrast that highlights the craftsmanship without overwhelming the space.

Gilded surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding all liquid cleaners, harsh chemicals, and direct sunlight to prevent cracking and fading of the delicate gold leaf.
