FAQs

Florentine lighting fixtures originate from the craftsmanship traditions of Florence, Italy, known for intricate hand-carved woodwork and sophisticated use of gold leaf finishes dating back centuries.

These fixtures are typically constructed from carved wood, gesso, and applied gold leaf, often featuring metal candle tubes and internal wiring for modern electrical bulbs.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-applied gesso, natural ageing such as craquelure in the finish, subtle wear on high-touch areas, and traditional hand-carved wooden construction rather than modern moulded resin.

They can be mounted on either side of a fireplace, mirror, or artwork to add warmth, texture, and classical contrast to minimalist or modern spaces.

Gilded surfaces should be dusted gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, abrasives, or excessive moisture which can damage the delicate gold leaf layer.
