FAQs

The French Empire style emerged during the early 19th century under Napoleon Bonaparte, heavily influenced by neoclassical motifs from ancient Rome, Greece, and Egypt, prioritising symmetry, grand proportions, and architectural dignity.

These pieces are traditionally constructed from dense hardwoods like mahogany or ebony, often featuring fine wood veneers, hand-cut dovetail joints, and cast or gilded brass or ormolu mounts.

Authenticity is identified through period-correct construction methods, such as hand-cut joinery, old glass panes with subtle imperfections, traditional hand-applied polish finishes, and the weight and patination of original brass hardware.

Pairing classical wooden furniture with modern minimalist surroundings creates a striking contrast, allowing the rich tones of the wood and the fine metal mounts to stand out as a focal point.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, avoiding excessive moisture, and occasionally applying a quality microcrystalline wax to nourish and protect the timber.
