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.

FAQs

The fauteuil emerged in 18th-century France during the Louis XV era as an open-arm wooden chair with padded seating and carved framing. Designed for informal conversation in French salons, these chairs placed an emphasis on fluid curves, asymmetrical Rococo ornamentation, and refined comfort.

Traditional French armchairs were crafted using hard woods such as walnut, oak, or beech, joined with mortise and tenon joints. The upholstery layers typically consisted of steel coil springs, jute webbing, animal hair or fibre stuffing, covered in hessian, calico, and fine upholstery fabrics.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved floral or acanthus motifs, swept cabriole legs, and visible pegging at the frame joints. Examining the underside reveals age-appropriate tool marks, oxidation on wood surfaces, and traditional upholstery materials like horsehair and woven webbing.

French armchairs offer a striking sculptural contrast when paired with minimalist modern furniture or contemporary artwork. Reupholstering the frames in contemporary fabrics, such as plain linen, boucle, or bold velvet, bridges traditional craftsmanship with modern design aesthetics.

Keep wooden frames away from direct heat sources and prolonged sunlight to prevent timber warping or cracking. Clean the woodwork with a soft cloth and apply a quality beeswax paste periodically to protect the timber finish and preserve the natural patina.
