This period is characterised by ornate carved wooden frames coated in thin layers of gold leaf, featuring flowing asymmetrical curves, floral motifs, and sophisticated craftsmanship typical of the Rococo and Baroque eras.

Authentic pieces typically utilise solid hardwoods such as beech or oak, meticulously hand-carved, gessoed, and gilded with gold leaf, then traditionally upholstered using horsehair and high-end textiles.

Authentication involves examining the hand-applied gesso and gold leaf for age-related wear, inspecting the joinery for traditional hand-cut tenons, and checking the woods patina and dry age beneath the frame.

Pairing this ornate historic piece against minimalist, neutral walls creates a striking focal point, allowing its sculptural gilt frame and textured upholstery to provide a sophisticated historical contrast.

Giltwood requires careful dusting with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and must be kept away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent the fragile gold leaf and gesso from flaking or cracking.
