FAQs

Florentine picture frames are traditionally characterised by hand-carved wooden details, often featuring elaborate scrollwork, acanthus leaves, and a gold leaf or gilt finish originating from artisan workshops in Florence, Italy.

These pieces are typically crafted from carved hardwoods such as pine, lime, or chestnut, which are then coated with a layer of gesso, smoothed, and finished with gold leaf applied over bole.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit hand-tool marks, minor losses to the gesso revealing the underlying wood or red bole, and natural oxidisation and craquelure within the gilt finish rather than uniform modern metallic paint.

Pairing a highly ornate historical frame with a minimalist modern oil painting or leaving the frame empty as a sculptural wall hanging creates a striking contrast that bridges traditional craftsmanship with modern design.

Dust gently with a dry, ultra-soft artists brush, avoiding any moisture, liquid cleaners, or abrasive cloths, which can permanently damage the delicate historical water-gilding or oil-gilding layers.
