Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

Popularised in nineteenth-century France and Victorian Britain, giltwood salon chairs were created for formal drawing rooms and reception spaces. Their lightweight construction enabled hostesses to rearrange seating effortlessly during social gatherings.

These chairs were typically constructed from carved hardwoods such as beechwood or lime, coated with chalk gesso, and finished using gold leaf gilding. Seating panels were frequently fitted with hand-woven rattan cane.

Authentic period pieces display red or yellow clay bole beneath areas of worn gold leaf, subtle hand-carving irregularities, and individually drilled holes for securing the woven cane framework.

A single giltwood chair functions as an elegant accent piece when placed beside a bedroom vanity table, positioned in a reading nook, or set against minimalist walls in an entry hallway.

Giltwood surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding water or chemical polish that degrades water-gilding. Cane seats benefit from gentle dry dusting and protection from direct heat sources to prevent cracking.
