FAQs

The Louis XV style, emerging in 18th-century France during the Rococo period, is characterised by asymmetrical designs, flowing organic curves, and natural motifs such as leaves and flowers, moving away from the rigid symmetry of earlier periods.

These pieces are typically constructed from native hardwoods such as beech or walnut, featuring hand-carved details, traditional joinery, and surfaces finished with gold leaf or gesso gilding, often paired with hand-stitched upholstery.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved detailing with natural irregularities, traditional joinery methods such as mortise and tenon, aged patination on the gilding, and the use of period-appropriate textiles or secondary woods.

This type of seating serves as a focal point in a contemporary room when paired with minimalist furniture and neutral backdrops, creating a sophisticated contrast between historical ornamentation and modern clean lines.

Preservation involves keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the wood and gilding from cracking, dusting gently with a soft dry cloth, and using professional cleaning services for the upholstery.
