FAQs

Gilded wood ornaments have been used since the Baroque and Rococo periods to enhance the grandeur of mirrors and frames, often featuring elaborate floral, scroll, and leaf motifs hand-carved from softwood and coated in gold leaf or gesso.

Authentic pieces typically utilise a base of carved gesso over wood, finished with genuine gold leaf or Dutch metal leaf applied by hand using traditional water-gilding or oil-gilding techniques.

Authenticity is identified by inspecting the underlying wood, the presence of crazing or micro-cracks in the gesso layer, hand-tooled carving marks rather than modern moulding, and natural wear showing the red or white bole beneath the gold leaf.

These decorative elements can be mounted on a wall as standalone sculptural art, integrated into bespoke picture frames, or placed on a mantelpiece to add a touch of historical texture and metallic warmth to contemporary spaces.

Preservation requires keeping the item away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent the gesso from cracking; dust gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid all chemical cleaning agents.
