GILDING (THE APPLICAION OF PRECIOUS METALS TO WOOD)
We repair damaged picture and mirror frames using the traditional methods for gilding. For moulded and carved frames, we make a new mould from another part of the frame, then gild and distress it (if necessary) to match the original finish.

We have a number of comprehensive catalogues from which we are able to match most period brass handles and cabinet hardware. If we are unable to find a suitable match, we are able to have one or many cast for you. Please contact us or call in to the workshop to discuss this service.
