FAQs

A giltwood salon chair is a historically significant seating type originating from 18th-century French royal and aristocratic courts, characterised by an intricately carved wooden frame coated in gold leaf.

These pieces typically feature solid timber frames, such as beech or oak, meticulously hand-carved, gessoed, and water-gilded or oil-gilded with genuine gold leaf before being traditionally upholstered with natural stuffings.

Authenticity is determined by examining the hand-carved details, the natural ageing and craquelure of the gold leaf and gesso, traditional joinery methods, and the type of underlying webbing and padding materials.

Such chairs serve as striking focal points in contemporary spaces by juxtaposing ornate historical craftsmanship against minimalist architectural backgrounds and neutral modern textiles.

Preservation requires keeping the chair away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent the fragile gold leaf from flaking, using only a dry, soft microfiber cloth for dusting.
