This Louis XV armchair was carefully conserved to preserve its original character and construction. The existing tapestry upholstery was retained, while a new supporting cloth layer was installed to stabilize the back and ensure longevity.
The webbing was reinforced using traditional hand-nailed techniques rather than modern staples, maintaining the original method of construction. All work was carried out with a focus on authenticity, material integrity, and respect for the piece’s historical craftsmanship.
