FAQs

Gilt wood seating became prominent during the 17th and 18th centuries in France, particularly under the reigns of Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI, reflecting the opulent tastes of the royal court.

These pieces are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as beech or oak, featuring hand-carved decorative motifs finished with applied gold leaf or water gilding over a prepared gesso layer.

Authenticity is identified through traditional joinery methods, hand-carved detailing with natural irregularities, visible wear to the gold leaf revealing the underlying red bole or gesso, and period-appropriate hardware or construction marks.

An antique gilt wood bench can be used to introduce a layer of historic texture and metallic warmth into a modern scheme, functioning effectively at the foot of a bed or as an accent seating piece in a living room.

Gilt wood should be dusted gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding all liquid cleaners, moisture, and harsh chemicals to protect the delicate metallic leaf and historic finish.
