FAQs

Giltwood standard lamps gained popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries across Europe, inspired by Neoclassical and French design movements. Carved from wood and finished with gold leaf, these tall lighting fixtures were originally crafted to hold candles before being adapted for electric lighting in the 20th century.

These lamps are typically carved from solid timber such as pine or beech, which is then coated with gesso, painted, and finished with real gold leaf or gold paint. Shades are traditionally crafted from woven silk or cotton fabrics and frequently accented with tassel fringe trim.

Authentic pieces display signs of natural age, such as subtle cracking (craquelure) in the gesso layer and mild wear to the gilding revealing the reddish clay bole or timber underneath. Hand-carved decorative motifs, weighted circular bases, and period-appropriate electrical wiring fixtures also indicate age.

A giltwood standard lamp acts as an architectural focal point when positioned alongside contemporary seating or in an unvarnished corner. The metallic gold finish contrasts effectively against dark painted walls or neutral linen upholstery to create textured visual depth.

Giltwood surfaces should be dusted gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or ostrich feather duster, avoiding water or chemical polishes which can dissolve gesso and gilding. Fabric shades can be cleaned using a low-suction vacuum cleaner attachment or a soft bristled brush.
