FAQs

The Directoire style bridges the gap between Louis XVI and Empire periods, characterised by a transition towards more austere classical lines, archaeological restraint, and military-inspired motifs.

These pieces typically utilise dense tropical hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, frequently accented with cast or ormolu brass mounts, brass stringing, and glazed panels.

Authentic pieces exhibit period construction techniques such as hand-cut dovetailing, traditional timber shrinkage, hand-chased brass mounts, and patination consistent with age.

This item grounds modern spaces by introducing rich timber tones and formal symmetry, functioning effectively as a focal point in a study or living area.

Maintain timber health by avoiding direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity, cleaning only with a soft dry cloth and occasionally applying natural beeswax to nourish the wood.
