FAQs

The Louis XV style is characterised by asymmetrical ornamentation, curved lines, scroll motifs, and naturalistic floral carvings, moving away from heavy symmetry.

These pieces are typically constructed from softwoods or hardwoods like beech, carved with intricate details, and finished with a layer of gold leaf applied over a gesso base.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-carved details, the natural wear and patina of the gold leaf, traditional joinery methods, and the composition of the underlying gesso and wood.

They can be used as accent seating in a living room, placed at the end of a bed, or positioned beneath a console table to introduce texture, history, and metallic warmth to a space.

Giltwood should be kept out of direct sunlight and away from moisture. Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid using chemical polishes or modern cleaning agents which can damage the delicate gold leaf.
