Antique Gilding and Gilt

ALL STYLES

Antique gilding, an ancient decorative technique, involves applying thin layers of precious metals like gold or silver onto surfaces, infusing them with opulence and sophistication. This meticulous art form has adorned everything from religious artifacts to fine art frames and furniture throughout history. The process typically includes priming surfaces with gesso, applying an adhesive (size), and delicately transferring delicate sheets of metal leaf. Gilding imparts a lustrous, reflective quality, creating a timeless allure. Its enduring popularity speaks to its ability to elevate objects, providing a touch of luxury that transcends eras and continues to captivate admirers of refined craftsmanship. Our gilt objects include candelabras, mirror frames, arm chairs, gilt clocks, picture frames, sconces and side tables. If you would like to view any of these gilt antiques in our Hertfordshire showroom please get in touch for an appointment.
