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

Nineteenth-century gilt frames are distinguished by intricate wood or composition mouldings covered in thin layers of gold leaf. During this era, styles frequently revived Baroque, Rococo, and Neoclassical motifs, serving as reflective accent pieces or surrounds for paintings.

Traditional giltwood frames were constructed from hand-carved timber coated with gesso, a chalk and glue mixture. Gold leaf was then applied using water gilding or oil gilding techniques to achieve a burnished or matte metallic surface.

Authentic period frames typically exhibit natural wear, revealing red or grey clay bole under the gilding where high points have rubbed over time. Additionally, the reverse usually shows aged timber, square-cut nails, or historical joinery rather than modern fasteners.

A carved gilt frame or mirror can be placed above a contemporary fireplace mantel or entryway console to create a focal point. Combining classical gilded accents with clean, modern lines adds textural contrast and warmth to living spaces.

Clean an antique giltwood frame gently using a soft, dry feather duster or dry camel-hair brush to remove dust. Avoid using water, liquid cleaners, or chemical polishes, as moisture can dissolve the underlying gesso and loosen the fragile gold leaf.
