FAQs

An 18th-century Italian giltwood armchair is a seating piece created in Italy during the Rococo period, characterised by a hand-carved timber frame coated in gesso and finished with thin gold leaf.

These frames were typically carved from softwoods such as pine or lime, coated with gesso preparation layers, and gilded using water gilding. Traditional upholstery utilized natural fibres, webbing, and horsehair stuffing.

Authentic pieces feature signs of hand-tooling on non-visible wooden sections, red bole clay showing through areas of worn gold leaf, and traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery.

Position the chair as a standalone accent piece alongside contemporary artwork or minimalist neutral furnishings to highlight its sculptural profile and metallic finish.

Dust the frame lightly with a soft, dry brush, avoiding water or solvents that dissolve gesso and gold leaf. Keep the item away from direct heat sources to prevent timber movement.
