Church Spire, Hyde Park, London
A closer image of the finial at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Hyde Park London where you can see the difference between stage one and stage two of the re-gilding project. The top half of the finial has been restored, prepared, primed and re-gilded in 23.5ct extra thick goldleaf followed by an application of varnish for added protection from adverse weather. Re-gilding the top half of the finial could have been very difficult due to the height to the very top and the need for restoration to some very exposed parts of the finial. However, Brian the Brush remain unchallenged in facing such projects as all projects are tackled with the right approach to the task in hand, H&S considerations being addressed and, of course, our being able to draw upon our extensive experience in this field.
Gold Leaf Gilding
Being asked to undertake the traditional goldleaf gilding at the Tower of London Crown Jewels House has been a tremendous accolade for Brian The Brush, especially during the Queen's Diamond Jubilee year. Even after more than forty years as one of the UK's leading experts in the traditional art of gold leaf gilding we feel projects don't come much bigger than that. However, we are always delighted to undertake all types and sizes of gilding projects, from the smallest honours board to the biggest monument, and consistently produce work of the highest quality.
Brian and his team regularly travel throughout the UK undertaking all types of gilding projects, including reverse glass gilding, decorative and achitectural gilding. We invite you to browse through our Gilding gallery and see some of the most recent works we have carried out. If we can assist you by providing a quotation for your project please do not hestiate to ask.
