FAQs

A fauteuil is a classical French armchair characterised by an exposed wooden frame, open sides, and padded armrests, originating in the 17th century and refined during the Louis XV and Louis XVI eras.

Traditional French armchairs feature frames carved from hardwoods such as beech or walnut, finished with hand-applied paint or gesso, and upholstered using woven textiles over natural stuffing like horsehair.

Period pieces display hand-carved frame details, mortise and tenon joinery with wood pegs, subtle asymmetry in hand-crafted elements, and natural wear across painted paint finishes.

A pair of painted fauteuils can sit opposite a tailored sofa to balance formal living spaces, or flank a console table to add classical architectural structure to contemporary rooms.

Clean the carved wooden frames using a dry microfibre cloth or gentle brush to preserve distressed paintwork, avoiding liquid cleaning agents, wax polishes, or direct heat sources.
