Gilding services

Our gilt restoration team specialise in the conservation and restoration of frames, ceilings, architectural features, furniture and sculptures.We specialise in water and oil gilding.

WATER GILDING

Water gilding is a traditional method for achieving a polished surface. It involves applying several coats of gesso and bole to create a suitable base. This allows us to burnish the gold using agate sticks.

OIL GILDING

Oil gilding can be used inside or outside to highlight architectural details or create a feature wall or ceiling. It is ideal for metal objects, or those that will be in a damp environment.

GILDING CONSERVATION

Gold leaf and gilded areas on furniture or wooden objects can fade and become damaged over time, however, our team can resolve any issues.
