Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Cataloguer’s note

  • ObjectArmchairs
  • Period19th century
  • StyleFrench Louis XVI
  • MaterialGiltwood, Textile
  • ColourGold, Cream
  • MotifsFluted legs, Padded armrests, Carved cresting, Rectangular backrest

These French Louis XVI style open armchairs hail from 1880 and arrive as a matched pair in gold and cream. Fashioned from giltwood and textile, the seating is upholstered in dark cream linen fabric and features rectangular backrests with carved cresting, padded armrests, and fluted tapered legs. Additional details visible include bead-moulded framing around the back and seat rails, carved floral rosette corner blocks, and rounded turnings above the tapering front legs. The chairs stand 102 cm high, 66 cm wide, with a 53 cm seat depth and a 43 cm seat height. They suit a formal drawing room or a grand bedroom setting as seating around a fireplace or a dressing table, adding traditional continental character to an interior.

FAQs

Louis XVI style armchairs, known as fauteuils, are defined by Neoclassical symmetry, rectilinear frames, straight fluted legs, and carved architectural motifs inspired by classical Greco-Roman design.

These frames were typically carved from hardwoods such as beech or walnut, coated with layers of gesso, finished with water or oil gilding using gold leaf, and fitted with woven textile upholstery.

Authentic 18th-century pieces display hand-carved joinery, peg construction, subtle variations in gold leaf application over bole grounds, and occasionally maker stamps stamped directly onto the wooden frame.

Arranging a pair of giltwood fauteuils opposite a clean-lined contemporary sofa creates structural symmetry while providing a visual contrast between classical carved details and modern architectural elements.

Giltwood frames should be dusted lightly using a dry, soft brush without liquid cleaners, while upholstery should be kept out of direct sunlight to prevent fiber degradation and colour fading.
