What is an antique gilt table base used for?

These bases support tabletops, lamps, clocks, and decorative sculptures. They function as both structural furniture supports and ornamental centrepieces. Buyers often select them to anchor custom glass or marble tops, or to elevate antique lighting fixtures in traditional interiors.

How do I identify French Empire and Louis XVI styles?

French Empire pieces display heavy classical symmetry, military motifs, and rich ormolu mounts. Louis XVI style incorporates straighter lines, tapered fluted legs, and neoclassical ornamentation. Both styles rely heavily on gilt bronze and architectural proportions derived from antiquity.

Are these bases made of solid gold?

No, solid gold is not used for structural furniture or heavy lamp bases. The surfaces are covered with thin gold leaf, gold paint, or treated with mercury gilding known as ormolu. The underlying material is typically wood, bronze, brass, or cast metal.

How should I clean gilt surfaces?

Dust giltwood and ormolu gently with a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, water, and chemical polishes that strip thin gold leaf. Conserving the original surface patina requires minimal intervention and gentle handling.
