GILDING IN LONDON, UK

 

Gilding - the application of gold leaf or gold paint to a decorative or flat surface is traditionally used to enrich cornices, friezes, mouldings, panelling and other architectural elements in period interiors. However, gold leaf can also be used to create unique metallic paint finishes to accent contemporary interiors. Nicola Thwaites Specialist Decorating & Colour Consulting - London UK - offers a range of specialist paint finishes, including gilding, wood graining, painted plaster, marbling, broken colour effects (colour washes, colour glazes, fresco, dragging, cross strié, stipple and wipe, etc.), in addition to decorative painting, trompe l’oeil, and murals.
