FAQs

The Arts and Crafts movement emphasized hand-craftsmanship, natural motifs such as leaves and vines, and a rejection of industrial mass production, resulting in deeply textured and organic designs.

These frames were typically constructed from carved wood or composition ornament applied over a wooden base, finished with a layer of gold leaf applied over bole and gesso.

Authenticity is identified through age-appropriate crazing in the gesso, hand-carved joinery, traditional water or oil gilding techniques, and natural oxidisation of the metallic surface.

An antique gilt frame creates a striking focal point when hung empty as wall sculpture, used to frame a modern mirror, or paired with contemporary abstract art to create high-contrast juxtaposition.

Gilded surfaces are extremely delicate and should be cleaned only with a dry, soft feather duster, avoiding all liquids, chemical solvents, or abrasive cloths that can damage the fragile gold leaf.
