The Louis XV style emerged in France during the 18th century, characterised by the Rococo movement which favoured asymmetry, curving lines, and natural motifs over the rigid symmetry of the previous reign.

Authentic period pieces are traditionally crafted from solid hardwoods such as walnut or beech, featuring hand-carved floral details, mortise and tenon joinery, and traditional upholstery methods involving horsehair and webbing.

Authentication relies on examining the hand-carving precision, tool marks on the wood, the ageing process of the timber, traditional joinery methods, and the type of webbing and stuffing used in the upholstery.

These chairs work effectively as statement pieces by pairing their ornate carved frames and patterned upholstery with minimalist modern furnishings to create a balanced, eclectic aesthetic.

Preservation involves keeping the chairs away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber drying and fabric fading, alongside regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment.
