FAQs

A Louis XVI style canape is a neoclassical French sofa defined by straight, geometric lines, symmetrical proportions, and classical Roman or Greek architectural details. Common features include oval or rectangular backs, exposed carved wood frames, and straight tapered legs with vertical fluting.

18th-century French frames were typically carved from seasoned hardwoods such as beech or walnut. The carved frame was coated with layers of gesso, water-gilded using gold leaf, and often burnished or lightly distressed to highlight intricate details.

Authentic period pieces often show hand-carved joinery, peg construction, and hand-cut timber underside structural elements. The gilding typically displays natural wear revealing red or grey bole preparation underneath, accompanied by genuine age-related oxidisation.

A French antique settee can serve as a focal point when placed alongside modern minimalist coffee tables or modern architectural lighting. Re-upholstering in plain natural linen or wool juxtaposes historical gilding with contemporary textures.

Gilded wood surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or water which dissolve the gesso ground. Upholstery should be kept out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading and timber drying.
