Gilded surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a clean artists brush, avoiding all water, moisture, and chemical cleaning agents to prevent flaking.

Placing an antique gilt frame in a modern setting creates a striking focal point, often hung empty as a sculptural wall object or paired with contemporary abstract art to create contrast.

Authentication involves examining the corner mitres, the composition of the gesso layer, natural craquelure in the surface finish, and signs of historical wear on the timber backing.

These frames were typically constructed using a pine or softwood foundation, overlaid with applied composition ornamentation (compo) and finished with gold leaf or bronze paint.

Swept frames feature dynamic, undulating curves and sculpted corner ornaments, typically moulded from gesso and plaster over a wooden core to create high relief.
