FAQs

Early 20th-century gilt picture frames often blend classical historical revival styles, such as Neoclassical or Edwardian motifs, with refined mouldings. They frequently incorporate details like egg-and-dart borders, beaded inner rims, and soft leaf gilding over gesso.

Traditional gilt frames were constructed using a carved or moulded wooden core, coated with layers of gessoa smooth plaster mixtureand finished with applied gold leaf or metallic paint washes.

Authentic antique gilt frames display signs of age, such as subtle cracking in the gesso (craquelure), natural wear or tarnishing to the gilding exposing the reddish underlying bole or timber, and traditional mitred corner joinery on the back.

An antique gilt frame can be styled by framing modern abstract art or photography to create contrast, leaned against a wall on a sideboard, or mounted empty as a sculpted wall feature within a gallery wall arrangement.

Maintain a gilt frame by dusting gently with a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth. Avoid water, commercial chemical cleaners, or liquid polishes, as moisture can dissolve gesso and lift fragile gold leafing.
