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

Spanish Baroque giltwood console tables are characterised by heavy carving, dramatic architectural curves, and rich gold leaf finishes. Often created to sit flush against entry or reception room walls, they frequently incorporate motifs such as shells, foliage, and scrolled cabriole legs.

These tables were typically carved from softwoods or hardwoods, covered with layers of gesso plaster, and finished using water gilding with fine gold leaf. The surface was often burnished with agate tools to create contrasting matte and polished areas.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carving marks on the timber framework, slight variations in leaf sizing, and natural wear showing the underlying red or grey bole clay layer beneath the gilding. Additionally, structural joinery, such as mortise and tenon joints, indicates traditional construction.

Pairing giltwood console tables with contemporary abstract artwork or minimalist mirrors creates an effective balance of eras. Placing them symmetrically in an entrance hall or using a single table in a narrow corridor adds structural detail without overwhelming the space.

Giltwood surfaces should be dusted using a soft dry brush or feather duster, avoiding liquids, solvents, and damp cloths which dissolve gesso and remove gold leaf. Maintaining stable humidity levels prevents the wood substrate from expanding and causing the gilding to flake.
