Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Secure Transit

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.

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

Originating in late 18th-century France under King Louis XVI, this neoclassical style was heavily influenced by the rediscovery of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Characterised by straight lines, geometric symmetry, and classical Greek and Roman ornamentation, the style experienced significant revivals throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries across European workshops.

Traditional French fauteuils were carved from hardwoods such as beech or walnut. The gilding process involved applying layers of gesso and red bole to the timber before applying thin sheets of gold leaf, which were then burnished. Modern or restored examples are often re-upholstered using traditional webbing, coiled springs, and horsehair padding.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved detailing such as crisp fluting, rosette corner blocks, and bead moldings. Evidence of water-gilding often reveals the underlying reddish bole ground through areas of light wear. Structural indicators include traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery secured with wooden dowels.

Integrating an ornate giltwood frame with modern geometric or minimalist fabric upholstery creates a dynamic contrast between classical craft and contemporary textile design. Positioned as a standalone accent chair alongside modern art or neutral architectural features, it acts as a focal point without overwhelming the room.

Giltwood surfaces require gentle handling; avoid liquid cleaners, commercial polishes, or excessive moisture, which can dissolve water-gilding or lifting gesso. Remove dust regularly using a dry, soft camel-hair brush, and clean any textile upholstery with a low-suction vacuum attachment or specialized fabric cleaner.
