Are these chairs suitable for daily use?

Many of these chairs function as occasional seating or dining chairs, depending on their original purpose and structural sturdiness. Care should be taken with antique frames and delicate silk upholstery during regular use.

What is the difference between giltwood and gold painted?

Giltwood involves the application of fine gold leaf directly to a prepared gesso and wood ground, creating a deep metallic sheen. Gold painted surfaces rely on metallic or gold-coloured paint applied over a wooden base, offering a different visual texture.
