FAQs

The Adam style, popular in the late 18th century, draws heavily from neoclassical Roman architecture, featuring symmetrical designs, delicate ornamentation, urns, and classical motifs.

These pieces were typically constructed from carved softwoods such as pine or gesso-coated hardwoods, finished with applied gold leaf or metallic gilt paint over a preparation layer of bole.

Authentication involves examining the hand-carved construction marks, the composition of the gesso, signs of genuine age-related oxidisation on the mirrored glass, and traditional joinery methods.

Pairing a gilded historical piece with minimalist modern furniture creates a striking focal point, reflecting light and adding textural contrast to clean, contemporary wall surfaces.

Gilded surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft, dry feather duster or microfibre cloth, avoiding any moisture, chemical solvents, or abrasive cleaners that can damage the delicate gold leaf.
