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

Italian Neoclassical furniture from the late 18th century is characterised by symmetry, straight lines, and classical motifs inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity. Pieces frequently feature fluted tapering legs, carved rosettes, architectural friezes, and gilding over detailed wood carvings.

These tables were constructed from hand-carved hardwoods or softwood, coated in layers of gesso, and finished using water gilding with gold leaf. Tops were typically fitted with shaped slabs of natural marble, such as Carrara or grey veined varieties.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved joinery marks, irregular thickness in the gold leaf, and visible red or yellow clay bole beneath areas where the gilding has worn over time. The marble underside should show natural hand-cut saw marks rather than modern machine cuts.

A giltwood console table functions as a focal point in an entryway or living room, contrasted against neutral walls or modern artwork. Pairing historic gilded furniture with clean-lined modern accent pieces balances architectural traditionalism with contemporary aesthetics.

Giltwood surfaces should be kept away from high humidity and cleaned only with a dry, soft feather duster to avoid lifting the gold leaf. The marble surface should be wiped with a damp cloth and mild neutral soap, avoiding acidic cleaning solutions that etch natural stone.
