FAQs

Florentine giltwood wall sconces are carved wooden lighting fixtures originating from Florence, Italy, characterised by relief carving, scrollwork, and gold leaf finishing applied over a gesso base.

Traditionally, craftsmen carved these sconces from lightweight woods such as pine or lindenwood, coating the carved frame in layers of chalky gesso before applying thin sheets of gold leaf.

Authentic carved giltwood fixtures display natural wear through the gilding showing red or grey clay bole preparation layers beneath, hand-carving marks on rear surfaces, and traditional joining techniques.

Pairing carved giltwood sconces alongside a central artwork, mirror, or within a fireplace alcove introduces texture and warm metallic tones that contrast effectively against modern matte paint finishes.

Giltwood surfaces should be cleaned solely with a soft, dry feather duster or soft brush, avoiding water, solvents, or liquid polishes which dissolve the water-soluble gesso ground.
