FAQs

Louis XVI furniture, originating in late 18th-century France, is defined by a return to classical symmetry, rectilinear forms, geometric parquetry, and neoclassical gilt bronze mounts.

Craftsmen utilised native hardwoods such as walnut, oak, and fruitwoods, often decorated with parquetry veneers, fitted with cast ormolu mounts, and capped with thick grey or white veined marble tops.

Authentic pieces feature hand-sawn timber framing, hand-dovetailed drawer construction, original chiseled ormolu mounts with natural patination, and hand-cut marble slabs with unpolished undersides.

A marble-topped parquetry commode serves as a striking focal point in a hallway or living room, paired with modern abstract artwork above or balanced with minimal ceramic accessories.

Dust wood surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply natural beeswax annually, while marble tops should be wiped with damp cloths, avoiding acidic cleaners that etch natural stone.
