FAQs

A fauteuil is an open-armed armchair featuring exposed carved wooden framing and padded armrests known as manchettes. During the mid-Victorian era, cabinetmakers frequently produced these chairs in the French Louis XVI revival style, applying water gilding over carved frames to create formal reception room seating.

The structural frames were typically carved from hardwoods such as beech or lime wood, which provided a smooth surface for gilding. The surface was coated with gesso and gold leaf, while traditional upholstery utilised horsehair, jute webbing, coil springs, and silk damask or brocade fabrics.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples display hand-carved details such as fluted tapered legs, carved finials, and classical mouldings. Examining the underside reveals mortise-and-tenon frame joinery, evidence of hand-applied gesso beneath worn gold leaf, and traditional upholstery webbing.

An ornate giltwood armchair serves as an accent piece when set against neutral, understated backdrops in modern living spaces or dressing rooms. Positioning the chair alongside contemporary side tables or minimalist artwork creates a balanced contrast between historical craft and modern aesthetics.

Dust giltwood frames gently using a soft, dry ostrich feather duster or camel hair brush, avoiding water, chemical polishes, or liquid cleaners that dissolve gesso and gold leaf. Vacuum silk upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment and position the chair away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading.
