FAQs

A French open armchair, traditionally known as a fauteuil, is characterized by an upholstered seat and backrest with open wooden armrests. Originating in the 18th century, these chairs typically feature carved timber frames, cabriole or turned legs, and decorative cresting.

late 19th-century French armchairs were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as walnut, beech, or mahogany, often features gilding or dark varnishes. Upholstery utilised traditional materials including horsehair padding, steel springs, and woven silk, damask, or velvet brocade fabrics.

Authentic pieces from circa 1880 display hand-carved details along the frame, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and natural wear on the armrests and feet. Original brass castors, hand-tied spring construction under the seat, and age-related oxidation on the timber underneath further confirm authenticity.

These decorative seats serve as statement accent pieces when placed opposite a minimalist sofa or framed within a window bay. Pairing ornate, patterned textile armchairs with simple modern architecture creates a balanced, eclectic contrast within a reception room or bedroom.

Clean the carved timber frames using a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax periodically to maintain the wood finish. Keep silk or brocade upholstery away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and vacuum gently using a brush attachment to remove dust.
