FAQs

Louis XVI style furnishings emerged in late 18th-century France, characterised by a shift away from asymmetrical Rococo curves towards classical symmetry, straight lines, and ancient Greek and Roman motifs.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from carved hardwoods such as beech or pine, finished with gesso, hand-painted pigments, and water or oil gilding using metallic leaf.

Authenticity is assessed through examination of the wood aging, tool marks from hand-carving, the composition of the gesso layer beneath the gilding, and traditional joinery methods appropriate to the period.

These sculptural objects function effectively as plinths for contemporary ceramics, bronze sculptures, or large floral arrangements, creating a deliberate contrast between classical ornamentation and modern minimalist spaces.

Gilded surfaces are extremely delicate and should be dusted gently with a dry, soft feather duster or microfiber cloth, avoiding all water, liquid cleaning solutions, and abrasive materials.
