How do I identify a carved giltwood lamp?

Carved giltwood lamps feature wooden bodies shaped by hand and covered in a thin layer of gold leaf over a gesso base. Look for visible wood grain beneath worn areas and traditional joinery. They often display classical motifs such as acanthus leaves, fluted columns, or ornate scrolls typical of nineteenth-century production.
