We can apply a gilt finish to metalwork and woodwork to add a luxurious feel. It is genreally quite a delicate finish and needs to be applied with care to a highly cleaned steel surface. With all our leaf finishes, it is possible to create extra depth to the colour by adding an antique patina which is applied by hand. This is created by using particular coloured varnishes to the leaf, which gives a mottled and aged look. We often use technique for our popular antique silver leaf finish, which a bright silver leaf that has a yellowish varnish applied, which tones the brightness down gives the leaf a light gold colour.
