A newly production of a French baroque frame made by Stockholms Förgyllning & Bildhuggeri
( www.stockholmsforgyllning.com ). It has earlyer been engraved and is here being gilded, using the technique of water gilding, a old and traditional way of gilding. After applying the gold it is then carefully polished to reach its full potential - shining gold. Then this frame is to undergo a final phase to recieve a nice patina, but that is another story....

  • Vad fint det blir. Ser roligt ut. Är det svårt att lära sig?

  • @NaughtyByNaturet

    Hej, ja sk. vattenförgyllning är det svåraste inom förgyllning.

    Men allt går att lära sig med lite vilja, sen är alltid frågan vad man ska göra med kunskapen och vilka krav man ställer på sig själv.

  • Hi

    what is the recipe for the water glue you use?

    I'm trying to gild some card but i think i'm burnising too quickly -how much time do you wait before burnishing?

    Mine seems to finish quite dull - that mirror look is great! .....is shellac the better sealer or wax?

  • Could you tell from whom you buy clay? I use Borma Wachs but it has to be filtered before it can be used.

    By the way, do you ship your frames to Russia?

  • @danny3233 gold leaf should be burnished when it`s dry, but not too dry. Give it about 3-7 hours to dry. But there is a lot more to get this nice, clean finish
