FAQs

The Louis XVI style emerged in 18th-century France, characterised by a return to classical symmetry, straight lines, fluted tapered legs, and neoclassical ornamentation, departing from the curving lines of the preceding Rococo period.

Authentic fauteuils were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as beech, walnut, or oak, featuring hand-carved details, traditional joinery, and horsehair or down stuffing beneath the upholstery.

Authenticity is assessed through examination of wood ageing, tool marks from hand-carving, traditional joinery techniques, and the type of webbing and stuffing used in the upholstery layers.

Pairing antique fauteuils with contemporary minimalist furniture creates a balanced interior, allowing the historical craftsmanship to serve as a focal point within a neutral scheme.

Preservation requires keeping wooden frames away from direct sunlight and heat sources, gently dusting carved surfaces with a dry cloth, and protecting delicate textiles with professional cleaning methods.
