Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

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

Louis XVI seating is defined by Neoclassical design principles, featuring straight rectilinear frames, fluted tapered legs, and classical motifs such as floral crestings and guilloche carving. Giltwood finishes were applied using gold leaf over gesso to highlight these decorative architectural details.

The frames were crafted from dense hardwoods like beech or walnut, coated with layers of gesso clay, and finished with thin sheets of genuine gold leaf. Traditional upholstery utilized natural webbing, coiled springs, horsehair padding, and woven natural fabrics.

Authentic period pieces show evidence of hand-carved joinery, peg construction, and natural wear to the gilding, often exposing the red or grey clay bole underneath. Modern reproductions frequently display machine-cut joins, uniform spray gilding, and modern synthetic filling materials.

Pairing carved giltwood chairs with crisp, neutral linen or velvet upholstery creates a contemporary contrast against clean architectural lines. Placing a pair opposite a modern sofa or flanking a console table anchors a room while blending classical texture with modern simplicity.

Giltwood frames should be dusted gently with a soft dry feather duster or camel-hair brush, avoiding water, chemical cleaners, or commercial polishes which can dissolve the water-gesso binder. Keep gilt furniture away from high humidity and direct heat sources to prevent cracking and flaking.
