FAQs

Originating in 18th-century France, the Rococo movement favoured asymmetrical designs, ornate scrollwork, and natural motifs such as C-scrolls and foliage, which later influenced the production of elaborate floor lamps and standard lamps in subsequent centuries.

These pieces are typically constructed from carved softwoods or hardwoods, which are then coated with a thin layer of gesso, water-gilded or oil-gilded with gold leaf or metal leaf, and occasionally burnished to achieve a metallic sheen.

Authenticity is determined by examining the hand-carving details, the presence of crazing or micro-cracks in the gesso layer, hand-applied gold leaf rather than modern metallic paint, and historical wiring methods if the fittings are original.

Such statement lighting can be paired with minimalist furniture and neutral walls to create a striking contrast, or integrated into eclectic spaces alongside textures like velvet and dark wood to enhance visual depth.

Gilt wood should be dusted gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding any moisture, chemical polishes, or abrasive cleaners that can damage the delicate gold leaf and underlying gesso.
