FAQs

French giltwood furniture gained prominence during the Louis XIV, XV, and XVI periods, characterised by elaborate hand-carved wooden frames coated in thin layers of gold leaf to project royal wealth and opulence.

These pieces typically utilise solid hardwoods such as beech or oak for the structural frame, finished with water or oil gilding, traditional cane work, and hand-stitched upholstery stuffing.

Authenticity is determined by examining the gesso layer beneath the gold leaf for signs of age-related crazing, hand-carved tool marks, traditional joinery methods, and the natural oxidisation of the underlying wood.

Pairing an ornate historical piece with minimalist modern architecture and neutral walls creates a striking visual contrast, allowing the craftsmanship of the furniture to serve as a focal point.

Giltwood requires dusting with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and protection from direct sunlight and humidity fluctuations, while the fabric should be professionally cleaned using methods appropriate to historic textiles.
