FAQs

French giltwood chairs gained prominence during the 17th and 18th centuries under the reigns of Louis XIV, XV, and XVI, reflecting the opulence and refined craftsmanship of the royal courts and elite Parisian salons.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as beech or oak, meticulously hand-carved, and finished with a thin layer of gold leaf applied over a prepared gesso and bole base, traditionally joined with mortise and tenon techniques.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved details with subtle irregularities, period-appropriate joinery such as pegged joints, traditional gesso and gold leaf application showing natural ageing, and aged patina on the wood substrate beneath worn areas.

Pairing this ornate seating with minimalist or modern architecture creates a striking juxtaposition, allowing the historical craftsmanship and metallic finish to serve as a sophisticated focal point in a living room or bedroom.

Giltwood requires careful maintenance, avoiding direct sunlight, high humidity, and chemical cleaners; dusting should be performed gently with a soft, dry ostrich feather duster to protect the delicate gold leaf surface.
