FAQs

Florentine frames are traditionally characterised by intricate hand-carved foliage, scrolls, and shell motifs, finished with gold leaf applied over a gesso base.

Water gilding involves applying thin sheets of gold leaf to a prepared gesso and bole surface on a carved wooden substrate, allowing the metal to be burnished to a high gloss.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit subtle signs of age such as craquelure in the gesso, minute losses revealing the reddish bole underneath, and hand-tooling marks unique to traditional craftsmanship.

Pairing an ornate gilded piece with minimalist architectural lines or positioning it against a dark, moody wall colour creates a striking contrast that highlights its craftsmanship.

Gilded surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft, dry brush or feather duster, avoiding all moisture, chemical solvents, and abrasive cleaners which can damage the delicate gold leaf.
