Gilding

Frames, ornaments and furniture finished with genuine gold leaf.

Gilding — Furniture restoration in Weesp and Amsterdam — before and after, project

A gilded frame or ornament that has lost its shine? Using classic gilding techniques I restore and apply gold leaf.

What it involves

In gilding I apply thin gold leaf to frames, ornaments and furniture parts using traditional techniques. Damaged or lost gold is restored so it blends seamlessly with the original. The result is a warm, authentic golden shine that suits the age and style of the piece.

How I work

  1. 1Assessing the existing gilding and the base beneath it.
  2. 2Preparing and, where needed, repairing the ground layer.
  3. 3Carefully applying the gold leaf.
  4. 4Polishing and patinating so new and old blend together.
