How do I care for gilt surfaces?

Gilt surfaces require gentle dusting with a soft, dry cloth to prevent abrasion of the delicate gold leaf. Avoid moisture, chemical cleaners and direct sunlight, which can degrade metallic finishes and underlying materials over time.

What materials are most common?

Gold leaf, porcelain, bronze, wood and glass appear frequently across the various object types. Many items combine multiple media, such as oil paintings housed within elaborately carved giltwood frames.

How are ceramic pieces decorated?

Ceramics often feature lustre glazes, enamel work and hand-painted motifs executed by prominent designers. Techniques such as Fairyland lustre combine vibrant coloured backgrounds with intricate gold tracery and imaginative scenes.
