The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A French fauteuil is an open-arm chair characterised by a exposed carved wooden frame, padded backrest, seat, and armrests. Late 19th-century examples frequently feature Louis XV Revival or Rococo Revival styling, including fluid curves, cabriole legs, and detailed floral carvings finished in gold leaf gilding.

These chairs were typically constructed from carved hardwoods such as beech or walnut, coated in gesso, and finished with gold leaf gilding. Upholstery traditionally incorporated horsehair or down padding, covered in decorative period fabrics like damask, tapestry, or printed cotton Toile de Jouy.

Authentic period pieces display traditional joinery techniques, such as hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, alongside gentle wear to the gilding that reveals the underlying reddish bole or white gesso. Frames show proportional balance and hand-carved detailing rather than modern crisp moulding lines or synthetic finishes.

Position the chair as a highlighted accent piece in a bedroom corner, dressing room, or living room seating group to introduce historical contrast. Pairing detailed carved frames and patterned fabrics with muted contemporary backdrops allows the craftsmanship of the seating to stand out.

Dust the giltwood frame using a soft, dry feather duster or dry soft-bristled brush, avoiding water, solvent cleaners, or damp cloths which can dissolve gesso and lift gold leaf. Vacuum fabric upholstery using a low-suction brush attachment, and keep the piece away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber movement and fabric fading.
