Welcome to Antonio's Frames
 
Water Gilding & Conservation Framing
 

Water Gilding is an ancient technique which has been passed on for thousands of years. This application of precious metals to enhance the appearance of objects of art dates back to the earliest civilisations.

This very old method of applying gold leaves is an art form as much as it is a process. Done only by hand, Water Gilding produces a splendour and richness unmatched by any other method of gilding.

The tools and equipment used in this discipline have remained the same for centuries.

   
Antonio has perfected this ancient technique that is evident through years of practice. We invite you to see Antonio at work.
