FAQs

Gilt wall cabinets have been utilised for centuries to display prized possessions, gaining significant popularity during the Baroque and neoclassical periods when gilded surfaces reflected candlelight to enhance room illumination.

These cabinets are typically constructed from timber such as pine or hardwood, then finished with gold leaf applied over a prepared gesso layer, often featuring glass panels and fabric-lined interiors.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-applied gold leaf, natural ageing and wear patterns in the gesso, traditional joinery methods, and the type of glass or hardware present.

A gilt cabinet functions well as a focal point on a plain wall or paired with contemporary furnishings to introduce texture, metallic warmth, and a historical layer to the space.

Gilded surfaces require delicate care; they should be dusted gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding all water, moisture, and chemical polishes that can damage the metallic leaf.
