Reverse Glass Gilding - Pure 23.5ct Gold Signwriting.

Recently completed Traditional Glass Gilded private house number in Leicestershire.
This project was just a joy to do!
Using the traditional water gilding method onto reverse glass with loose 23.5ct gold leaf, this a process that cannot be rushed, and thats why i think its sadly become a process that is rarely used or even offered by today's modern sign trade.
There is no modern substitute product that can replicate the finish or the depth that you get from using real gold!.. non tarnishing and never fading... its pure gold! :-)

I've included a couple of 'in progress' shots, hope you find them of interest, all the work was hand painted, signwriting and gilding using traditional methods.
