FAQs

The Louis XV style, emerging in 18th-century France, is characterised by asymmetrical curves, naturalistic motifs such as foliage and flowers, and an emphasis on comfort and elegance over rigid symmetry.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from native hardwoods like beech or walnut, featuring hand-carved details, traditional mortise and tenon joints, and surfaces finished with gold leaf or gesso.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-carved tool marks, the composition of the gesso and gilding underneath, traditional joinery methods, and the natural wear patterns consistent with age.

This type of seating works effectively as a statement piece in contemporary spaces, contrasting cleanly against minimalist architecture or neutral walls to highlight its sculptural form.

Preservation requires keeping the item away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels to protect the fragile gold leaf finish, dusting gently with a soft, dry cloth without chemical polishes.
