FAQs

A French canape is an upholstered sofa or settee featuring an exposed, elaborate wooden frame that originated during the 18th century. Designed primarily for salons and reception rooms, Rococo examples display serpentine curves, asymmetrical leaf carvings, and cabriole legs.

Traditional pieces feature hand-carved solid hardwood frames, often beech or walnut, finished with gesso, distemper paint, and gold leaf gilding. Internal construction traditionally relies on mortise and tenon joinery, coil springs, webbing, and natural fillings such as horsehair.

Authentic period pieces exhibit evidence of hand-tooling on frame undersides, hand-pegged joints, and natural wear patterns along high-touch surfaces. Genuine gilding and paint finishes typically show subtle layer distress, oxidisation, and stable craquelure consistent with age.

A Rococo settee functions effectively as a focal point in a neutral hallway, contemporary dressing room, or at the foot of a bed. Pairing intricate period carving with minimalist wall treatments or understated contemporary textiles balances classic detail with modern space.

Dust frames regularly using a clean, soft, dry microfibre cloth or dry brush, avoiding liquids or abrasive polishes that strip gilding or paint layers. Upholstered sections require gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and damp environments.
