Bespoke Gilded Neoclassical Armchair: Formal Dining Seating

At OE-FASHION Furniture, design is an exercise in restraint and precision. The Bespoke Gilded Neoclassical Armchair is constructed to offer a lasting foundation of style, balancing architectural lines with tactile comfort.

Aesthetic Overview & Proportions

This piece features a rectilinear profile that honours Neoclassical traditions. The frame presents a disciplined contrast between the structural white lacquer and the ornamental gold leaf application, creating a visual hierarchy suitable for grand private residences, embassies, or hotel ballrooms. The silhouette is defined by straight, tapered legs that transition into curvilinear scroll arms, offering a studied balance between rigidity and flow. The upholstered back panel is framed by intricate carving, establishing a formal presence from every angle.

Technical Craftsmanship & Materiality

Constructed with hand-carved solid wood components, the frame ensures structural longevity through traditional mortise and tenon connections. The ornamentation is not moulded but carved directly into the timber before the application of the finish. The surface treatment involves a multi-stage lacquering process, followed by the manual application of gold leaf to the fluting and floral motifs.

• Structural Integrity: Kiln-dried Beech frame, reinforced at high-stress points.
• Material Excellence: Heavyweight Jacquard or Damask upholstery with piped edges.
• Artisan Finish: Hand-applied gilding with an antiqued patina sealant.

Interior Curation & Spatial Integration

To maximise the visual impact of the Bespoke Gilded Neoclassical Armchair, we recommend positioning it within spaces that utilise polished marble flooring or intricate parquet. The piece’s ornate detailing offers a textural counterpoint to smooth, monolithic surfaces like stone dining tables or panelled walls. Regarding the colour palette, this design aligns best with warm neutrals, creams, and greens, allowing the gold leaf accents to reflect ambient lighting.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • Q: How should the gold leaf finish be maintained?
    A: The gilded areas are sealed but remain delicate. Dust lightly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or water, which can compromise the gold leaf adhesion.

• • Q: Can the upholstery fabric be supplied by the client (COM)?
    A: Yes. We accept Customer’s Own Material (COM). For this model, we require approximately 1.8 metres of fabric per chair, subject to pattern repeat analysis.

• • Q: What is the load-bearing capacity of the chair?
    A: The kiln-dried hardwood frame and reinforced joinery are engineered to support static loads of up to 150kg, meeting commercial hospitality standards.

• Q: How is this bespoke piece packaged for export?
  A: We utilise museum-grade crating with custom foam inserts to ensure the integrity of the carved details and legs during transit to international destinations.
