FAQs

The Louis XVI style emerged in France during the 18th century, marked by a return to classical symmetry, straight lines, and neoclassical motifs after the curves of the Rococo period.

Authentic pieces were typically constructed from solid hardwoods like beech or oak, which were then meticulously carved and covered in thin sheets of gold leaf applied over a prepared gesso base.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-carved details, the natural ageing and craquelure of the gesso and gold leaf layers, and traditional joinery methods rather than modern fixings.

This type of seating works effectively as a contrasting accent piece in modern minimalist spaces, adding texture and a touch of historic craftsmanship to neutral rooms.

Giltwood surfaces should be gently dusted with a dry, soft brush or microfiber cloth. Avoid all moisture, chemical polishes, and abrasive cleaners to protect the delicate metallic leaf.
