How do I recognise an authentic Louis XV armchair?

A genuine Louis XV armchair features cabriole legs in carved beech or walnut, hand-pegged mortise-and-tenon joints, and often a menuisier's stamp struck beneath the seat rail. Natural wood patina and period-consistent upholstery are further reliable indicators of authenticity.

What does an antique armchair cost from a dealer?

Prices vary widely by period and condition: from around €200–500 for a standard Napoleon III chair, to €2,000–8,000 for a stamped Louis XV armchair with original upholstery, and considerably more for a signed piece by a major 18th-century menuisier.

Is it better to buy an antique armchair with its original upholstery or have it re-covered?

Original upholstery, even if worn, is always preferable from a heritage and resale perspective. A professional period-accurate re-cover is acceptable if documented, but a modern fabric inappropriate to the era can significantly reduce the chair's value.

How should I care for an antique gilded or painted armchair?

Avoid abrasive products and excess moisture. Gentle dusting with a soft brush is sufficient for gilded surfaces. If gilding flakes, entrust restoration to a professional gilder. For painted frames, a light application of microcrystalline wax preserves the patina without altering it.

Can antique armchairs purchased on Antiquités en France be shipped internationally?

Yes, most dealers offer shipping within France and across Europe using specialist carriers experienced with fragile antiques. Contact the seller directly for a tailored quote covering appropriate packaging and delivery for the chair's dimensions and fragility.
