FAQs

A fauteuil is a French open-armchair characterized by an exposed carved timber frame, upholstered seat, backrest, and padded armrests (manchettes). The Louis XV style emphasizes fluid curvilinear forms, serpentine seat rails, and cabriole legs without stretchers.

Frames are traditionally crafted from dense hardwoods such as walnut, beech, or oak, allowing for detailed hand-carving. Upholstery historically incorporates natural horsehair padding, coil springs, and woven textiles like silk damask, brocade, or velvet.

Authentic pieces feature mortise and tenon joinery held with wooden pegs, asymmetrical floral or rocaille carving, and subtle hand-planing marks on non-visible timber frame areas. The proportions prioritize ergonomic comfort with gently angled backrests.

A pair of open armchairs works effectively flanking a fireplace, positioned at the end of a sofa arrangement, or placed in a bedroom bay window. The exposed wooden frames maintain visual lightness, bridging traditional and contemporary decor schemes.

Dust walnut frames regularly with a soft cloth and apply clear beeswax annually to nourish the wood. Keep silk upholstery away from direct sunlight to prevent fibre degradation and color fading, cleaning spills immediately with a dry absorbent cloth.
