FAQs

The Renaissance revival style emerged in the 19th century, drawing inspiration from the art and architecture of the 15th and 16th centuries in Europe, particularly Italy, France, and Flanders, characterised by heavy carving and classical motifs.

These pieces are typically constructed from dense hardwoods like walnut, featuring hand-carved ornamentation, mortise and tenon joinery, and upholstered panels secured with decorative brass or iron tacks.

Authentication involves examining the timber patina, hand-carving inconsistencies, tool marks, joinery techniques, and the type of secondary woods used in the frame construction.

Historic carved armchairs can be incorporated into contemporary spaces by pairing them with minimalist or neutral backgrounds to highlight their sculptural forms and rich textures without overwhelming the room.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent timber drying and fading, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the wooden surface.
