Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Italian Baroque frames, originating in the 17th century, are defined by dynamic carving featuring deep relief, scrolling acanthus leaves, cartouches, and fluid curves. These designs emphasised architectural drama and rich water-gilded finishes intended to reflect light in period interiors.

Historically, these frames were hand-carved from softwoods like pine, then coated with gesso, a chalk and glue preparation. Layers of red or yellow bole clay were applied before gold leaf was water-gilded onto the surface and burnished with an agate stone.

Authentic period frames feature hand-carved tool marks on the reverse, irregularities in symmetry, and natural gold leaf wear that reveals the underlying reddish bole clay and white gesso. Modern reproductions often use moulded resin or plaster with uniform metallic paint.

A pair of Baroque frames can be displayed empty on a mantlepiece or sideboard top to function as sculptural art objects. They can also be integrated into a gallery wall or used to frame monochrome botanical prints to balance rich ornamentation with modern lines.

Avoid using liquid cleaners, water, or chemical polishes, as these dissolve water-gesso and strip original gold leaf. Dust gently with a soft, dry camel-hair brush, keeping the pieces away from direct heat sources and high humidity.
