FAQs

The Louis XV revival style, prevalent during the 19th century, is characterised by asymmetrical curves, serpentine contours, cabriole legs, and lavish use of gilt bronze ormolu mounts inspired by 18th-century court furniture.

These cabinets typically feature a solid oak or pine carcass veneered with exotic woods such as kingwood or tulipwood, complemented by fire-gilt cast bronze ormolu mounts, hand-fitted glass panels, and marquetry or parquetries.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the construction methods, such as hand-cut dovetails, the quality of the hand-chased ormolu mounts, the depth and oxidation of the wood patina, and traditional joinery marks on the interior.

An antique vitrine serves as a striking focal point in a modern room, providing contrast against minimalist walls while housing curated collections of ceramics, glassware, or small sculptures.

Maintain stable indoor humidity and temperature levels away from direct sunlight to prevent wood cracking and veneer lifting. Dust gently with a dry, soft lint-free cloth and avoid harsh chemical polishes or water on the wood and gilt bronze.
