FAQs

French Empire furniture, originating in the early nineteenth century, is defined by classical Greco-Roman motifs, symmetrical proportions, and monumental forms. Popular decorative elements include swans, sphinxes, acanthus leaves, and laurel wreaths, often executed in giltwood or mahogany.

Giltwood furniture is constructed from carved hardwood, typically pine or lime, coated in layers of chalky gesso. Gold leaf is then applied using either water gilding or oil gilding techniques, creating a metallic finish over the detailed hand carvings.

Authentic period giltwood displays natural wear where the underlying red or grey bole clay shows through high points. Structural joins often show slight shrinkage gaps, and hand-carved details will exhibit subtle variations rather than mechanical uniformity.

A giltwood table acts as a sculptural statement piece when juxtaposed against minimalist architecture or neutral upholstery. Placing a gilded accent piece in a modern hallway or living area adds historical depth and texture to clean-lined contemporary schemes.

Giltwood should only be dusted with a soft dry brush, as moisture or liquid cleaners can dissolve water-based gilding and damage gesso. Marble tops require dry wiping or a damp cloth with neutral soap, avoiding acidic cleaning solutions that etch stone.
