FAQs

French salon chairs from the 19th century, often designed in the Louis XV or Louis XVI revival styles, were formal seating pieces crafted for drawing rooms, featuring ornate carved frames and luxurious upholstery.

These chairs were typically carved from solid hardwood such as beech, coated with gesso, finished with gold leaf gilding, and upholstered in woven silk brocade or damask.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved wooden joinery, traditional hand-applied gilding showing natural wear or red bole underlayers, and hand-tacked upholstery construction.

A pair of giltwood chairs can serve as sophisticated accent seating flanking a fireplace, placed opposite a neutral sofa, or positioned within an elegant bedroom suite.

Dust the carved gilt frame lightly with a soft, dry brush to prevent lifting the gold leaf, and vacuum the textile upholstery gently using a low-suction brush attachment.
