Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Italian carved giltwood chandeliers are traditional ceiling light fittings hand-carved from wood and finished with gold leaf gilding, popularised during the 17th and 18th centuries in regional craft centres such as Florence and Venice.

These light fittings typically feature softwoods like pine or lime hand-carved into intricate scrolls, coated with a gesso base, and finished with thin layers of gold leaf or silver leaf with a yellow varnish.

Authentic period pieces show hand-carving marks beneath the gesso, natural wear or loss to the gilded layer exposing red or grey bole, and historical adjustments where candle sockets were later converted for electricity.

A gilded wooden chandelier serves as a focal point in high-ceilinged dining rooms or formal drawing rooms, where its warm patina contrasts against contemporary neutral plaster walls or dark paint schemes.

Giltwood surfaces should be dusted gently using a soft, dry squirrel-hair brush, avoiding water, chemical polishes, or damp cloths, which can dissolve the water-gilded gesso substrate.
