A fauteuil is a traditional French upholstered armchair featuring open wooden arms. The wooden frame remains partially exposed around the back and seat. These chairs were designed for formal sitting rooms and parlours, offering comfort combined with decorative woodwork.

How do I date these armchairs?

Dating relies on examining the timber species, carved stylistic details, and construction methods used in the frame. Revival periods often replicate eighteenth-century forms during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Comparing the specific revival style, such as Louis XV or Louis XVI, helps narrow down the probable manufacturing era.

Where were these chairs placed?

These armchairs served primarily as salon, drawing room, or reception seating within period homes. Their decorative carved frames and upholstered velvet surfaces allowed them to function as both practical seats and decorative focal points. Pairs were frequently positioned near fireplaces or conversational groupings.

How do I care for velvet upholstery?

Velvet requires gentle brushing to maintain the direction of the pile and prevent flattening over time. Professional cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of the fabric fibres. Keeping the chairs away from direct sunlight prevents the rich colours of the velvet from fading.
