FAQs

Giltwood lighting originated in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, with Italian workshops in regions like Florence becoming renowned for intricate woodcarving and gilding techniques. During the 20th century, artisan workshops continued producing classic revival styles, combining hand-carved timber bases with traditional gesso and gold leaf applications.

These lamps feature a core structure carved from hardwoods or softwoods, which is coated in layers of gessoa mixture of binder and chalk. The smooth gesso surface is then covered with thin sheets of gold leaf or metallic leaf gilding, often finished with aged glazes.

Authentic pieces demonstrate hand-carved wood grain and minor joinery lines rather than uniform resin casting. Look for subtle wear on raised edges where the underlying red or yellow bole clay shows beneath the gilt finish, alongside original wiring or historical lamp fittings.

Position the lamp alongside upholstered seating or in an unlit corner to add vertical height and warm metallic accents. Pairing ornate gilded woodwork with neutral contemporary fabrics or minimalist furnishings creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern simplicity.

Dust the gilded wooden surface lightly using a dry, soft microfiber cloth or feather duster, avoiding water or liquid chemical cleaners which can dissolve the gesso layer. Inspect electrical components periodically and consult a qualified electrician for rewiring needs.
