This nineteenth-century French Louis XVI style salon suite comprises a three-seater settee and four matching fauteuil armchairs. The pieces display a gold giltwood finish with cream silk upholstery covering the oval padded backrests, arms, and seats. Floral cresting ornaments the top of the frames, complemented by rope-twist carved borders and stop-fluted tapering legs. Signs of age appear as minor wear along the gilded wooden surfaces. The settee measures 93 cm high, 115 cm wide, and 56 cm deep, while the armchairs measure 91 cm high, 56 cm wide, and 52 cm deep. These seating pieces suit formal living spaces, parlours, or reception rooms in period interiors, providing coordinated seating arrangements for entertaining guests or relaxing.

FAQs

Louis XVI style furniture, originating in the late 18th century, is characterised by neoclassical design principles including straight lines, geometric symmetry, fluted tapered legs, and decorative classical motifs inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity.

Salon suites from this period were typically crafted from solid carved hardwoods, such as beech or walnut, coated with gesso and decorated using water-gilding techniques with thin gold leaf, complemented by woven silk or damask upholstery.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved joinery, natural wear to the gilded gesso revealing underlying bole clay, classical fluted leg details, and hand-stitched traditional webbed upholstery construction.

A giltwood suite works effectively as a focal point in a formal reception room, contrasted against neutral modern walls, architectural mouldings, or paired with contemporary art to create visual depth.

Giltwood surfaces should be dusted lightly with a dry feather duster or dry microfibre cloth, avoiding water, solvents, or commercial polishes which can dissolve delicate gesso and gold leaf layers.
