FAQs

The Louis XVI style is characterised by a shift away from Rococo curves towards classical symmetry, straight lines, fluted columns, and motifs inspired by ancient Greco-Roman archaeological discoveries.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak or walnut for the internal structure, often faced with fine veneers or finished with hand-applied paint, and frequently topped with marble slabs.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-cut dovetail joints, traditional hand-mixed paint finishes, forged iron or brass fixings, and natural wear patterns consistent with age rather than artificial distressing.

Pairing a brightly painted antique commode with minimalist modern surroundings creates a striking focal point that highlights the craftsmanship without overwhelming the room.

Maintain stable indoor humidity and temperature levels, keep the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent paint fading, and clean surfaces only with a dry, soft microfibre cloth.
