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.

A Duchesse Brisee is a multi-piece French chaise longue originating in the eighteenth century, typically comprising a deep armchair paired with a matching footstool or ottoman to form a continuous reclining seat.

Louis XV seating frames were carved from hardwoods such as beech, walnut, or oak, frequently finished with gesso and paint, and upholstered using traditional webbed foundations and natural fibre stuffing.

Key design features include sinuous cabriole legs, carved floral or leaf motifs along the frame, scrolled feet, gently curving armrests, and asymmetrical rococo ornamentation.

Position both sections together in a bedroom or quiet corner to create a reading nook, or separate the armchair and footstool to provide flexible seating in a formal drawing room.

Dust the painted frame regularly using a dry, soft cloth, avoiding liquid solvents or abrasives, and position the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent paint flaking.
