How do I identify a Louis XVI style chair?

Louis XVI style seating is distinguished by straight fluted legs, symmetrical geometric proportions, and rectangular or oval backs. These design elements contrast sharply with the curving asymmetry of earlier Rococo forms. Craftsmen often incorporated classical motifs such as acanthus leaves, ribbons, and urns into the carved wooden frames during revival periods in the nineteenth century as well as the original eighteenth-century epoch.

Can these chairs be used for everyday dining?

Dining sets in this category provide functional seating around a table, though their delicate gilded surfaces require careful handling. Many salon and side chairs were built primarily for decorative entertaining rather than heavy daily wear. Checking the structural joints and frame stability helps determine whether a specific set suits regular domestic use or lighter occasional placement.

What is the difference between an armchair and a bergère?

Standard armchairs feature open wooden sides between the armrest and the seat rail. A bergere encloses the seated occupant with solid upholstered sides. This enclosed construction provides a more sheltered seat, frequently paired with a down-filled cushion for added comfort.

How should I care for antique giltwood?

Giltwood surfaces require gentle dusting with a soft, dry brush or cloth to prevent moisture damage to the delicate gold leaf. Avoid liquid cleaners, polishes, and abrasive cloths entirely. Keeping the furniture away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity protects both the underlying gesso and the metallic leaf from cracking or lifting.
