FAQs

Baroque picture frames from the 17th century are characterised by dramatic ornamentation, deep relief carving, and dynamic movement designed to draw the eye toward the artwork.

These frames were typically constructed from carved hardwoods such as oak or pine, then coated with layers of gesso and bole before the application of genuine gold leaf.

Authenticity is identified through hand-carved details, natural shrinkage cracks in the wood, visible gesso layers, and the subtle oxidation patterns found in genuine historical gilding.

An antique gilt frame creates a striking visual contrast when hung against a minimalist neutral wall or displayed leaning on a mantelpiece as a standalone sculptural object.

Preservation requires dusting gently with a soft, dry brush. Water, chemical cleaners, and aggressive rubbing must be strictly avoided to prevent stripping the delicate gold leaf layer.
