FAQs

The Louis XVI style emerged in France during the late 18th century, marked by a return to classical straight lines, symmetry, and neoclassical motifs in contrast to the preceding Rococo curves.

These chairs are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as beech or walnut, featuring hand-carved detailing, mortise and tenon joints, and traditional upholstery techniques incorporating horsehair or coil springs.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-carved woodwork for tool marks, checking the joinery methods, inspecting the timbers ageing and oxidisation, and verifying the construction of the frame underneath the upholstery.

Pairing these chairs with modern, minimalist furnishings creates a balanced contrast, allowing the classical lines and textured upholstery to serve as a sophisticated focal point in a living room or study.

Preservation involves keeping the wooden frames away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, and gently vacuuming the velvet upholstery with a soft brush attachment to maintain the fabric pile.
