FAQs

Florentine giltwood lighting is characterised by elaborate, hand-carved wooden frames finished with layers of gesso and gold or silver leaf, featuring intricate acanthus leaf scrolls and botanical motifs.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from softwoods such as lime or pine, hand-carved, and water-gilded or oil-gilded using traditional metallic leaf techniques over a prepared gesso ground.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the hand-carved details, the natural ageing and oxidisation of the metallic leaf, craquelure in the gesso base, and traditional joinery methods on the reverse.

They can be used as statement accent pieces flanking a fireplace, mirror, or architectural doorway to introduce historical texture and a warm metallic layer to contemporary schemes.

Giltwood requires delicate maintenance, involving gentle dusting with a dry, soft brush and the strict avoidance of water, chemical cleaning agents, and direct sunlight to preserve the metallic leaf.
