Best Practices

• •Lead with the Story: Begin descriptions not just with what the item is, but with the life it has lived. Use evocative language that hints at its history, origin, and purpose.
• •Emphasize Authenticity and Expertise: Subtly weave in details about the item's period (e.g., "Art Deco," "Louis XV"), materials, and origin to reinforce the brand's expertise and the authenticity of the product.
• •Use a Sophisticated and Warm Vocabulary: Employ words like "exquisite," "curated," "timeless," "legacy," and "patina." The tone should feel like a conversation with a knowledgeable and passionate friend, not a dry academic text.
• •Highlight the "Why": Connect each piece to a larger feeling or benefit. It’s not just a "plate"; it's a way to "add a touch of French sophistication to your home." It's not just "jewelry"; it’s a "piece of history waiting to be a part of your story."
• •Maintain Transparency: Always be clear and honest about the condition of an antique. Phrases like "good antique condition with some normal signs of age" build trust and manage customer expectations effectively. This honesty is a key part of the brand's perceived integrity.

The public perceives Charmantiques as a highly reputable and trustworthy source for genuine French antiques.
