My client had inherited a large decorative mirror which was golden originally which they wanted to change. However they didn't really want to get rid of the mirror. The solution was to re-gild with Palladium leaf to get the exact shade of silver for the frame. It then matched the new colour scheme in the room.
The mirror looked amazing and was transformed. Looks like it will have another 100 years of life now!
One way to preserve an inherited heirloom but giving it a contemporary feel and a new history is to re-gild with another beautiful coloured leaf.

Beautiful golden Fireplace
This White painted fireplace was transformed twice. Firstly into a gold fireplace then secondly into a tortoiseshell effect using pigmented lacquer. Both surfaces pick up the light and the glow from the fire. Just what is needed on a cold January day.
