FAQs

Pelmets were historically utilised to conceal curtain hardware, block draughts from windows, and add an element of architectural grandeur to formal rooms.

Traditional pelmets were typically constructed from carved timber, such as pine or hardwood, and finished with applied gesso, intricate mouldings, and genuine gold leaf or gilt paint.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit period-appropriate joinery, hand-carved detailing, crazing in the gesso or gilding, and signs of age-related oxidisation on the metallic surfaces.

They can be mounted above windows as traditional window treatments or repurposed as wall-mounted architectural accents to add texture and historical character to a contemporary space.

Gilded surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding any moisture, harsh chemicals, or abrasive cleaners that could damage the delicate gold leaf layer.
