FAQs

An 18th-century giltwood console table is characterised by a carved wooden frame finished with gold leaf, designed to attach to or rest flat against a wall. These tables frequently feature semicircular or demilune tops fitted with heavy marble slabs and ornamental motifs such as Vitruvian scrolls, acanthus leaves, and scrolled supports.

The structural frames were typically carved from softwoods like pine or lindenwood, which were coated in layers of gesso and clay bole before water gilding with thin sheets of gold leaf. The tops were often fitted with thick slabs of variegated marble, such as Rouge de Rance or Breche Violette.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved joinery underneath, irregular tool marks, and natural wear to the gilding showing reddish or grey clay bole beneath. Additionally, original marble tops usually feature hand-chiseled undersides and appropriate signs of age along the edges.

Place the table against a prominent wall in an entryway or living room beneath a large framed mirror or artwork to establish a formal focal point. Balance the ornate gold frame by pairing it with simple contemporary accessories or structured ceramic vessels.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a soft dry brush or feather duster, avoiding water or liquid cleaners that can dissolve the gesso and ruin the gold leaf. Clean the marble top using a damp cloth and mild pH-neutral soap, taking care to wipe away spills immediately to prevent staining.
