Small Gilded Repair Work On Site

Something that I am always being called out to do is make very small repairs to gilded pieces on site. Usually they have been damaged in transit but occasionally its a piece thats too big to travel and i need to go to it!

Apart from packing a bag with a hundred and one different potions and materials for all eventualities i arrive and can do most repairs on the spot.

I have travelled all over London, down to Sussex, the Home Counties and across to Essex to do these on the spot repairs.

This bed was finished in a specialised silvery metallic finish which need some careful matching with pigments and finishes. It takes skill and a good eye to match things up and its something i really enjoy, guessing how something was created and duplicating it.




 










This beautiful drinks cabinet was a bespoke piece that has been damaged in transit. You can see the repair work in progress and at the bottom how i matched the moon gold in without a trace. It then was sent on its way to Europe.
