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

Originating in 18th-century French design traditions, Louis XV style furniture is characterised by sinuous curves, decorative wood marquetry, and cast bronze mounts. Cabinets adapted for drinks storage often utilise upper fall-front mechanisms or double cupboard doors inspired by traditional secretiaires.

Traditional French cabinetmaking frequently employs exotic timber veneers such as kingwood and rosewood laid over oak or pine carcasses. Decorative floral motifs are crafted using contrasting inlaid woods, complemented by chased gilt-bronze mounts and fitted marble tops.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut joinery, thick wood veneers, and heavy gilt-bronze mounts secured with traditional screws. Key indicators include natural patination on metalwork, slight timber shrinkage along veneer lines, and heavy, contoured marble slabs engineered specifically for the frame.

Position the piece as a standalone feature against a neutral or deep-toned wall to highlight the timber grain and gilt mounts. Balance the detailed marquetry motifs by pairing the cabinet with contemporary artwork or understated glassware accessories.

Position the cabinet away from direct sunlight and heat radiators to prevent veneer movement or cracking. Clean the marble top using a pH-neutral solution, and maintain the timber surfaces with periodic applications of natural beeswax, avoiding chemical polishes on bronze mounts.
