FAQs

Gilded armchairs originated in the royal courts of France during the 17th and 18th centuries, notably evolving through the Baroque, Rococo, and Neoclassical periods to reflect aristocratic taste and status.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from hardwoods such as beech or walnut, featuring hand-carved detailing, applied gold leaf or gilt gesso finishes, and traditional traditional joinery like mortise and tenon.

Authentication involves examining the hand-carved tool marks, the ageing of the underlying gesso and bole beneath the gold leaf, traditional stuffing materials in the upholstery, and the wear patterns consistent with age.

Pairing an ornate gilded armchair with contemporary minimalist furnishings creates a striking juxtaposition, allowing the historical craftsmanship to serve as a focal point within a neutral colour palette.

Preserve gilded surfaces by dusting gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, and keeping the item away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity to prevent flaking.
