The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

A canape is a French upholstered sofa or settee that originated during the 18th century, characterised by carved wooden frames, sinuous S-scroll curves, and decorative gilding typical of the Rococo movement.

Traditional canapes feature carved timber frames, often beech or walnut, finished with water gilding over a gesso base, and upholstered in woven fabrics like silk damask, brocade, or tapestry.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved asymmetry, traditional wooden peg joinery, natural wear to the gold leaf revealing reddish-brown clay bole beneath, and hand-stitched horsehair or hand-tied spring upholstery.

A giltwood canape functions as a focal accent piece when placed in a formal hallway, drawing room, or master bedroom, contrasting well against contemporary neutral walls or minimalist decor.

Dust giltwood frames gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush to avoid chipping fragile gold leaf, and keep the piece away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and heat sources to prevent timber warping and fabric fading.
