FAQs

The Louis XV style, prevalent during the 18th-century Rococo period, is characterised by asymmetrical designs, flowing organic lines, cabriole legs, and elaborate floral carvings.

Authentic fauteuils are traditionally constructed from solid hardwoods such as beech or walnut, featuring hand-carved details, traditional joinery, and applied gold leaf or gesso finishes.

Authentification involves examining the construction joinery, the quality and wear patterns of the gilding, the type of wood used underneath the finish, and the hand-carved depth of the motifs.

A giltwood armchair serves as an effective statement piece when juxtaposed against minimalist architecture or neutral walls, blending historical craftsmanship with modern decor schemes.

Preservation requires keeping the piece out of direct sunlight, avoiding chemical cleaners on the delicate gilt surface, dusting gently with a dry microfibre cloth, and maintaining stable humidity levels.
