FAQs

The Louis XVI style emerged in France during the late 18th century, characterised by a shift away from Rococo curves towards classical Roman and Greek symmetry, straight fluted legs, and geometric restraint.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as beech or walnut, featuring hand-carved classical details, gesso finishes, and hand-woven wool or silk tapestries from workshops like Aubusson.

Authenticity is determined by examining the construction joints, hand-carved wooden frames showing age-related patina, traditional hand-woven needlepoint or tapestry textiles, and period-appropriate joinery methods.

Such pieces serve as striking focal points in contemporary spaces when contrasted against minimalist architecture, neutral walls, or paired with modern upholstery to highlight their historical craftsmanship.

Preservation requires keeping the item out of direct sunlight to prevent textile fading, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners on the original paint finish, and gently vacuuming the tapestry with a low-suction attachment through a mesh screen.
