Exterior Gilding
For thousands of years Gold Leaf has been used on exterior ornament. There is no other
coating comparable to gold leaf for beauty, luster and durability. Across the world, you will find
the enduring radiance of gold leaf on religious edifices, public buildings, significant commercial
structures and private residences. Applied correctly, exterior gilding will look good as new for
over 20 years.
Interior Gilding
From the time of the ancient Egyptians, Gold Leaf and other metal leaf has adorned significant
interior elements, furniture and art. Since gold is a noble metal, it will neither degrade nor tarnish
over the years.
Decorative Painting
This artform has its origins in ancient Greece and Rome. In the United States, we have a rich
tradition of ornamental painting which goes back to Colonial times. Currently enjoying a
Renaissance, Decorative Painting is appropriate in traditional and contemporary settings.
