1930s French gilt gesso table lamp.

Gilt gesso is a decorative technique used in art and furniture design, where a mixture of plaster, glue, and other materials (gesso) is applied to a surface, often wood, to create raised patterns or textures. Once dry, the gesso is gilded, meaning it's covered with thin layers of gold leaf or gold paint. This method was commonly used in frames, mirrors, and furniture during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, giving objects an ornate, luxurious appearance with intricate, gleaming details.
