FAQs

Louis XV armchairs, commonly known as fauteuils, are characterised by sinuous Rococo curves, cabriolet legs, floral carved motifs, and open padded armrests. Originating in 18th-century France, these seating designs prioritise natural contours and fluid structural asymmetry.

Giltwood furniture typically features hand-carved timber frames prepared with layers of gesso paste, followed by gold leaf application using traditional water gilding techniques. Structural components are secured using classical mortise and tenon joinery.

Authentic period pieces display evidence of hand-carved frame irregularities, natural wear revealing red bole or raw timber beneath gilding, original wrought fasteners, and occasionally maker stamps along the seat rails.

A giltwood armchair functions as a distinct accent piece when set against minimalist backdrops or modern upholstery, creating visual texture through historical contrast. Positioning the chair near secondary lighting accents the burnished finish and carved detail.

Giltwood surfaces should be dusted dry using a soft feather duster, avoiding liquids or chemical polish that dissolve water gilding. Fabric upholstery requires light vacuuming with a low-suction textile brush attachment to remove debris.
