FAQs

George I style giltwood furniture, originating from the early eighteenth century, is recognised by architectural forms, strapwork carving, and low-relief gesso decoration covered in gold leaf. Pieces from this era frequently feature symmetrical shell motifs, scrolling foliage, and cabriole legs.

Giltwood tables were constructed using softwoods such as pine or lime for the carved core, which was then coated with layers of gessoa mixture of glue binder and chalk. Gold leaf was subsequently applied over a coloured clay base known as bole using water-gilding techniques.

Authentic giltwood displays natural wear where the gold leaf has thin layers exposing the red or grey clay bole beneath. The underlying wood should exhibit hand-carved tool marks, traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, and minor cracking in the gesso layer due to natural movement over time.

A giltwood table serves as an anchor piece alongside modern upholstered sofas or neutral contemporary armchairs to create visual contrast. Positioning the table in a hall, alcove, or beside low-profile seating allows the detailed gesso carving and gold finish to function as a focal point.

Giltwood surfaces require gentle dusting with a soft, dry bristle brush or microfibre cloth to prevent lifting fragile gold leaf. Water and liquid solvents must be avoided, and the item should be kept in a climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight to prevent gesso shrinkage.
