The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Rococo Revival and Louis XV style side chairs feature delicate S-curves, cabriole legs, and elaborate decorative veneers such as parquetry. Designed originally in 18th-century France and revived during the 19th century, these pieces emphasise light proportions and ornate metal appliques.

Craftsmen typically utilised exotic hardwoods such as kingwood, rosewood, and walnut applied in geometric parquetry patterns over a solid wood frame. Decorative accents frequently featured cast gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts alongside needlepoint or embroidered upholstery.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut wood veneers forming geometric or floral parquetry patterns, alongside cast bronze mounts fitted precisely to the frame. Look for traditional joinery construction on the framework and natural age-related oxidisation on both timber and metal fittings.

An antique French side chair works well as an accent piece in a hallway, bedroom corner, or paired alongside a writing desk. Placing ornate kingwood and gilt mounts against neutral backdrop walls highlights the silhouette within contemporary schemes.

Dust the timber framework gently with a soft microfibre cloth and apply wax polish sparingly to nourish the veneer, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners. Keep gilded bronze mounts clean by using a dry soft brush to remove accumulation from intricate relief areas.
