FAQs

Florentine giltwood lighting originated in Florence, Italy, recognised for hand-carved wooden structures layered with gold leaf and often highlighted with subtle painted polychrome accents.

These fixtures typically feature hand-carved softwood frameworks, water-gilded with genuine gold leaf over a gesso base, often incorporating forged metal support elements for the arms.

Authentic period pieces display hand-carved tool marks, genuine surface wear through the gilding revealing the underlying bole or gesso, and historic electrical conversions or candle sockets.

A carved giltwood light fixture serves as a structural focal point above a dining table or in an entryway, balancing modern minimalist furniture with architectural texture.

Dust gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water, liquid cleaners, or abrasive cloths that can strip or damage fragile gold leaf and delicate gesso layers.
