The secret art of gilding.
The Egyptians used gold leaf to adorn the tombs of pharaohs.
The Romans gilded the ceilings of their palaces and temples.
And today, we use those very same techniques to restore and gild the ceilings of some of Britain's most beautiful estate homes.
Gilding is a rare and specialist craft and one we know well. Over the years we've restored gilded ceilings across some of the country's finest estates, preserving the original craftsmanship – exactly as it should be.
