Small Repairs to Gilded Mirror Frames

Some projects are grand and some are just simple and more homely requiring just a few repairs to bring a treasured family heirloom or purchase back into working order. A few small repairs also stop deterioration of most gilded pieces. ( stitch in time)


This was a very small pretty Swedish mirror frame that had sustained tiny amounts of damage over the year and the crest was wobbling and in time risked would  break away. The white gessoed areas are the ones i repaired before I re-gilded and matched it to the remaining frame. I toned in the bright gold to match the elegant glow of gold on this beautiful mirror.
