| Gilding Gilding is a highly specialized, delicate and time consuming — not to mention expensive — form of surface decoration. There was a time when the cost of a gilded frame was greater than that of the painting itself! Addressing historic gilding, whether water or oil gilding, on furniture or on frames, requires sensitivity to the color and the reflective properties of the remaining original gilt. There is also the delicate process of re-cutting of the gessoed surface, which forms an area of specialization onto itself. We have superb skills in these areas, as witnessed by many examples of our work at notable cultural institutions in New York City, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and in numerous private collections. |
