FAQs

Originating in 18th-century France, the Louis XV style open armchair, or fauteuil, is defined by curvilinear forms, asymmetrical rococo ornamentation, and open spaces between the armrests and seat.

Frames were typically carved from hardwoods such as walnut, beech, or oak, often finished with gilding, paint, or natural wax, and upholstered in natural textiles like silk damask, velvet, or needlepoint.

Authentic 18th-century pieces feature hand-carved joinery, peg construction, slight asymmetry in the relief carving, and timber showing natural age, whereas 19th-century revival pieces often display machine-saw marks and standardised dimensions.

A Louis XV armchair can be placed in a contemporary living space or bedroom as an accent seating piece, where its organic carved curves contrast with modern minimalist architecture.

Keep the timber frame away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinking, wax the wood annually with a neutral beeswax polish, and clean the upholstery using low-suction fabric attachments.
