  • A hand made replica of a console table. The original is a Late Gustavian console table from the early 19th century. It has been made by hand with handplaned frameworks, woodturned leggs and hand carved details. What you see in this video is the process of gilding it, the applying of the gold and the metal leafs (a combination that started to be in use in Sweden from about the mid 18th century) all along to the final step, the distressing it needs to get the patina required to match the original table. This part is

    Finally I found a respectable video on you tube, tired of watching amateurs ,my hat's off to you if I wore one, I would clap but I only have one hand, and would give you a standing ovation but I am handicapped. ,so I'll just say good job ,keep it up and you have all my respect

    Fantastic work! I'm impressed with the exquisite carpentry of this table. To build is hard enough, but to match it exactly as a pair.. wow, that is master level!!
    It was gratifying to see the craftsmanship of the gilding with no shortcuts taken, done the right way, without being pressured for time. That is rare these days.
    Thank you for being able to watch real artists at work!

    Not just the gilding but also the wonderfully reproduced table base construction. Excellent lesson in the art of gold leaf application and on the whole a fabulous demonstration, thank you so much folks.

    I always thought that gilding metal leaves will always have some texture...glad I was shown differently!
    I just wish that this had some instructions.

    For the metal leafs we use a 12-hour oil size and as for the water gilding its just water that activates the animal glue in the gesso.

    What a fab find, am working on an antique sewing machine case, unique piece - looks like a jewelry case -
    Requiring some patient restoration - thus, I've decided to Gold Leaf some areas on it so I can manage to get the value of my labor when I price the piece.
    A craftsmanship/technique I've yet to try - we shall see if I Master it - 1st try - (truly believe 8 must have been an artist/designer in another time - I'm blessed with a "just know how and/or quick study"

    Gold leaf you could probably get from a local well sorted paint/artist shop, otherwise you have Manetti in Italy or some big gilding suppliers in Germany. As for a price estimate for your furniture I cant give you any indication until I have seen them. Depending on size and shape the price can vary a lot. But you are wellcomed to send some Pictures of them to our mail adress, you will find it on our website.
