FAQs

French period armchairs, such as those from the Louis XIV to Louis XVI eras, are characterised by graceful curves, classical motifs, and sophisticated proportions that reflect royal court aesthetics.

These pieces typically feature solid hardwood frames, such as beech or oak, embellished with hand-carved details and finished with water or oil gilding using genuine gold leaf.

Authentic pieces often exhibit hand-carved tool marks, traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon, natural wear to the gold leaf revealing the red bole underneath, and period-appropriate upholstery techniques.

Pairing a highly ornate historical chair with minimalist contemporary surroundings creates a striking contrast that highlights the craftsmanship without overwhelming the space.

Giltwood requires delicate maintenance, including dusting with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding direct sunlight, moisture, and chemical cleaning agents to protect the fragile gold leaf finish.
