FAQs

French painted and gilt armchairs, often referred to as fauteuils, became prominent during the Louis XV and Louis XVI periods, reflecting the elegance and decorative refinement of French royal courts and high-society salons.

These chairs are traditionally crafted from solid hardwoods such as beech or walnut, featuring hand-carved detailing, gesso application, water or oil gilding, and traditional upholstery methods involving horsehair and webbing.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved joinery, period-appropriate tool marks, aged patination on the gilt and painted surfaces, traditional mortise and tenon construction, and hand-stitched upholstery underpinnings.

An antique French armchair can serve as a sophisticated accent piece in a modern living room or bedroom, contrasting clean architectural lines with classical ornamentation and rich textile patterns.

Preserve gilt and painted surfaces by keeping them away from direct sunlight and moisture fluctuations, dusting gently with a dry microfibre cloth, and avoiding chemical polishes that can strip the delicate metallic finish.
