FAQs

These chairs draw heavily from neoclassical design movements such as the Louis XVI style, which favoured straight architectural lines, symmetrical carving, and painted finishes over the ornate curves of the preceding Rococo period.

Authentic period pieces are typically constructed from solid hardwoods like beech or walnut, featuring hand-carved decorative motifs, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and applied painted or gesso finishes.

Key indicators of authenticity include hand-forged iron or traditional wooden fixings, aged patina within the painted surface, traditional horsehair or plant-fibre stuffing beneath upholstery, and tool marks consistent with hand-tool woodworking.

They function exceptionally well as contrasting accent pieces, pairing traditional neoclassical silhouettes with contemporary minimalist dining tables or serving as decorative occasional seating in a hallway or bedroom.

Maintain them by keeping them out of direct sunlight to prevent textile fading and paint cracking, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, and avoiding chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners on the painted wooden surfaces.
