FAQs

French Louis style armchairs, spanning periods such as Louis XIV, XV, and XVI, are characterised by classical symmetry, intricate hand-carved wood details, exposed frames, and graceful cabriole or tapered fluted legs.

These chairs are typically constructed from solid hardwoods like beech or oak, featuring hand-applied gold leaf or gilt gesso finishes, traditional joinery, and horsehair or cotton stuffing beneath silk or velvet upholstery.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved detailing with natural irregularities, genuine gilt wear showing the underlying bole or wood, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and aged patina rather than uniform modern metallic paint.

An antique gilt wood armchair can serve as a striking accent piece in a contemporary setting by pairing it with neutral walls, minimalist modern furnishings, and simple textured fabrics to balance its ornate craftsmanship.

Preserve gilt wood by keeping it out of direct sunlight, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, using a soft dry microfibre cloth for dusting, and maintaining stable indoor humidity levels to prevent the wood and gesso from cracking.
