FAQs

The Louis XV style, developed in France during the mid-18th century, is recognised by its Rococo influences, curvilinear silhouettes, asymmetric carving, and cabriole legs. Furniture from this period moved away from grand formality towards intimate scale, comfort, and nature-inspired ornamentation such as shells and foliage.

Cabinetmakers primarily utilised regional hardwoods such as walnut, oak, and fruitwood, joined using mortise and tenon construction. Aprons were hand-carved with relief patterns, while legs were shaped into delicate S-curves ending in scroll or whorl feet.

Authentic pieces feature signs of hand-planing, original wooden peg construction, natural timber shrinkage across the top, and irregular tool marks within the carved aprons. Inspecting the undersides for age-consistent patination and oxidisation provides confirmation of historical age.

Position the table in an entrance hall or living room space to serve as a visual anchor. Balance the ornate carved walnut frame with simple contemporary ceramics or clean-lined sculptural lighting to create stylistic contrast.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and applying beeswax polish annually along the wood grain. Keep the table away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber movement, drying, and colour fading.
