FAQs

The Louis XV style is characterised by asymmetric curves, cabriole legs, rocaille motifs, and exposed wooden frames. Armchairs from this period, often termed fauteuils, feature open sides, padded armrests, and contoured backrests designed for comfortable social interaction.

Craftsmen primarily utilised native European hardwoods such as walnut, oak, beech, and fruitwood for the carved frames. The seats and backrests were traditionally built with hand-tied steel springs, horsehair padding, and covered in silk damask, velvet, or embroidered linen.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved decorative elements with slight natural variations, traditional mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs, and age-appropriate wear to the underside of the frame. The walnut grain often demonstrates a deep patination acquired over generations.

Positioning a pair of French armchairs opposite a contemporary sofa creates a balanced visual contrast. Re-upholstering the frames in plain neutral fabrics like linen or wool allows the natural woodwork to stand out while blending seamlessly with modern colour palettes.

Apply a natural beeswax polish to the carved walnut frame annually to nourish the wood and maintain its luster. Upholstery should be vacuumed gently using a soft brush attachment and kept away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
