FAQs

Louis XV style seating, prominent in the mid-18th century, is characterised by curvilinear shapes, delicate asymmetrical carvings, exposed timber framing, and slender cabriole legs without stretchers.

Traditional French bergere armchairs were constructed using hardwood frames, typically beech or walnut, combined with natural coil springs, jute webbing, horsehair padding, and linen, cotton, or silk velvet upholstery.

Period pieces feature hand-carved details, pegged mortise and tenon joints, natural wear patterns on structural contact points, and traditional upholstery techniques visible along the underside.

Position these armchairs alongside low-profile modern sofas or architectural modern lighting to create contrast, using neutral tonal fabrics to ground the detailed timber frame within contemporary color schemes.

Vacuum upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment, clean timber frames with a dry microfiber cloth, avoid chemical detergents on distressed finishes, and keep seating out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading.
