Gold Leaf Gilding

Gold leaf gilding on glass is one of the oldest and most technically demanding skills in sign painting, with roots dating back to Roman times. The process requires precision at every step — and the result is something no modern material can replicate.

Chris has practiced traditional gilding techniques for nearly a decade, working on storefronts, office windows, and architectural installations across the US and beyond. He works primarily with genuine gold leaf, because it simply outlasts and outperforms the alternatives.
