FAQs

Gilded French dining chairs developed during the 17th and 18th centuries, becoming prominent during the reign of Louis XV. They are characterised by hand-carved wood frames, fluid lines, and surfaces decorated with applied gold leaf.

The frames were typically constructed from softwoods or carved hardwoods such as beech or walnut. A layer of gesso was applied over the carved timber prior to gilding, while seat foundations used traditional webbing, horsehair, and natural canvas.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut joinery, pegged mortise and tenon joints, and uneven wear to the gilding revealing red or yellow clay bole beneath. The undersides of the frames frequently display historic hand-sawn wood marks and upholstery tack patterns.

These chairs can be paired with a simple modern timber table to create contrast between ornate historic detailing and minimalist furniture. Reupholstering the frames in neutral linen or plain wool allows the carved giltwood structure to stand out.

Giltwood surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft, dry brush rather than liquid cleaners, which can dissolve water-gilded gesso. Maintaining a stable humidity level prevents the wooden substrate from expanding and cracking the delicate surface.
