The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Originating in France during the early 17th century, Louis XIII style is recognised for its grand proportions, high upholstered backrests, spirally turned or os-de-mouton scrolled legs, and elaborate carved stretchers. The style was widely revived in the 19th century with precise cabinetmaking techniques.

These armchairs were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as walnut or oak, fastened with traditional mortise and tenon joinery. Upholstery frequently featured heavy woven wool or silk tapestries depicting verdure landscapes and floral motifs, secured with brass upholstery tacks.

Nineteenth-century revival pieces display more uniform saw marks, modern metal fasteners inside the frame, and precise symmetrical carving compared to hand-hewn 17th-century originals. Timber shrinkages, naturally aged upholstery wear, and hand-cut dovetails or pegging help confirm the historic construction era.

Place the chair as an accent piece alongside clean-lined modern furniture to create texture and historical visual weight. It functions well as a reading chair in a study, a statement seat in a hall, or a contrast element in a minimalist lounge setting.

Keep the armchair away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber warping and fabric fading. Clean the upholstery using a soft brush attachment on a low-suction vacuum, and apply high-grade beeswax paste to the carved walnut frame periodically to protect the patina.
