FAQs

Louis XVI style chairs feature Neoclassical design elements inspired by classical antiquity, including straight geometric frames, fluted tapered legs, and carved mouldings such as guilloche and rosettes. Unlike the earlier curved Rococo forms, Louis XVI designs emphasise symmetry, order, and classical proportions.

Traditionally, frames were crafted from dense hardwoods such as beech or oak, carved before receiving a gesso preparation layer. Gold leaf was applied over a clay bole background, creating the gilded finish complemented by natural linen, wool, or silk upholstery.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut joinery, peg construction, and natural wear to the gilding layers where underlying clay bole shows through. Inspecting the underside reveals hand-sawn timbers, original webbing marks, and signs of genuine ageing rather than modern mechanical distressing.

Positioning a pair of giltwood armchairs opposite a contemporary minimalist sofa creates dynamic visual contrast between decorative gilding and clean modern lines. Re-upholstering in neutral textures such as boucle or plain linen allows the historic wood carving to serve as the focal point.

Dust frames regularly using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water, liquid cleaners, or commercial polishes which can dissolve gesso and lift gold leaf. Keep the chairs away from direct heat sources and severe humidity fluctuations to prevent wood movement and gilding loss.
