Water gilding french baroque frame

- 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....
I’m almost in tears watching a true craftsman at work. The precision of her movements, the ease and economy of movement... I’ve never watched anyone gild something, I wanted to understand what water gilding was, so I looked up this video. Like I said, ive never seen it done, but there is a finesse, a economy of motion you can see in any true craftsman, and she’s got it. It’s simply breathtaking and beautiful
This Is true gold leaf
I'm back again. There is so much to learn in this video. Again, all honours go to the woman who is doing the work. Just amazing....
I've watched this video over and over. It is SO good, and the young woman is so skillful.
Now I see why it is so expensive, and worth the money if you care about craftsmanship and art at the same time. Gorgeous job and lots of patience I do not have.
I love it. That kind of bling is exactly how it should look like.
Hi, tanks for your comment.
The tool is a Burnishing tool made out of agate stone and it exists in many sizes and shapes. Long ago, atleast in sweden it was common to use wolf and bear teeth as burnishing tools. The gilders knife is also to be found at any gilder supplier but you can also make it out of a old table knife. The important thing is how you sharpen it, its cutting edge should be flawless not to damage the thin gold leaf when you cut it and at the same time it cant be to sharp...
AMAZING!!! SO RELAXING TO JUST WATCH YOU WORK!!! THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEO!!!
Gorgeous work
What a gorgeous frame!
Wow. Such amazing skill, beautiful
Superb! Stunning!
Congratulations. Great work.
Wonderful work!
It came out so Beautiful
I love watching you guys work. I have a small frame shop, and I would love to have the space to do our own gilding work here on a larger scale. Keep it up!
Really Beautiful Work
Way Cool !!! Well Done...
Hermoso, un excelente trabajo. Saludos desde México.

Talented for sure!!!
Hi its very nice i like to see more its very interestid
keep on going this beatiful art
beautiful!
I love this job......
Good video and good sharing👍👍👍....stay safe and stay connected...
I learn this trade in Mexico many years ago, wonderful memories.
For the gesso we use both brushes with swine-hair and synthetic-hair. For the bole and water just synthetic. We buy them from a local shop in Stockholm (ABC färgekonomi) and I asume that you could find them pretty much everywhere. Otherwise you could always try the german Company Leonhardy, they should have whatever you possibly could need.
Muy buen trabajo!
This is beautiful
потрясающе, отличное видео
AAAAAMAZING!
wow, thanks very much for this thorough reply!
all i´ve ever done was polishing the surface of selfmade silver jewelry with a stainless steel tool (similiar, but much rougher)
i´ll copy it into my DIY section on my laptop - i don´t know if i´ll ever get the chance to try it myself, but it would be really wonderful! so if the opportunity shows itself i´ll know the basics at least.
it´s really a very interesting process and i love how it´s done: with care, endurance and patience.
thanks!
...to destroy the laether on the pad. The pad being basicly a wooden plate covered with leater turned with the suede side outwards. The suede must be fine enough to create a good smooth surface for the gold. Then you need a thin layer of padding inside the pad to make it flexible enough, without being to soft, and every gilder has his or hers own preferences but we use old newspapers as a base and then cover it with a thin layer of cotton.
Wow!!! Beautiful work! Who would give this a thumbs down? I wanted to do this with a frame I have I will watch over and over. I'd be curious to know exactly what all the steps are
beautiful
superb Work done 👍 I M also doing gold and silver leaf in Interior flied but you are Awesome Very Good
Other than at the start of the video of the distracting guy in the mirror looking over your shoulder, this was very entertaining and informative!
Great !!
awesome.
عمل متقن ماشاء الله ❤
I thought you were going to do sgraffito in those designs .. I'm new to this.. please forgive me...
absolutely beautiful.. you make it look effortless but I know that it is not as easy at it looks. Thanks for sharing!
You are meticulous and make it seem easy. SM WOW your amazing def going to subscribeto your channel Can't wait to start my project
you love your job, i can see that in the way you work, delicate and perfect, thanks for sharing your technic.. greetings from colombia...
trop beau
Gud. Super
Beautiful in everything work & video
@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
beatifully done!
you look very professional =)
so i´d like to bother you with a few questions:
what are you using for polishing? this tool, what material is it? glass, or horn
and what is it you use to cut the gold leafs? is it just a moderately sharp kitchen knife and a syntethic leather cushion?
super
Can you please tell,what kind and what make of brush you are using to apply gesso,bole and gilders water?Where can I bay them?
i m dying with envy. i ll never be able to do this....lol .
Hermoso
Excellent film. Can you describe the amount of pressure you apply to the burnisher and how long after applying the gold leaf to you start that part of the process?
Beautiful work. A true artista at work.
One question I have ...
I try gilding and have some difficulty.
Why is it that when the adhessive is applied thoroughly it does not help the gold leaf stick?
I use the Mona lisa brand.
Fantastic video,but being totally new to this it would have been so nice to know what materials, solutions etc were used. Thanks anyway
beautiful workmanship! I am interested in knowing what it cost to gild that frame?
Wonderful, Dear lotta, I got a question for you the red and yellow layers you put on the gesso are made of yellow and red bole? or it´s an acrilic paint? thanks a lot
they are bole, ot you cannot get a good burnish
Nice! Now give it to me!
Very professional, to be honest I liked the frame without the guilding. But this is the customer's taste.
Wow. 👍🏼
just wow
It is just water that activates the animal glue (rabbit skin glue) in the gesso.
Christer Björkman thank you so much for your excellent video. how do you prepare the gesso and the bole in terms of ingredients and parts? again many thanks. then too can i use pine as substrate?
The knife should have a perfect edge but without being Sharp. If its to Sharp you would cut the leather on the pad. But the edge cant have any faults since it then will destroy the edges of the gold when you cut it.
Christer Björkman What a magnificent job! I do gilding on my own frames but I’ve never had one this ornately carved. It’s beautiful...you are a real pro!
It looks like you are using Gesso and then some sort of paint. Is this paint supposed to be similar in color to the gold leaf for coverage? Then, how does the water activate the rabbit skin glue (for applying the gold leaf) if there is layer(s) of Paint (?). I want to do this gold leaf method on sea shells, burnishing after. Can you please tell me a bit about the process (like 1st you paint gesso, then paint xxx, then you brush with water, then you apply leaf,then burnish....) Thnx SO MUCH!
Can you just use yellow bole alone for gold leaf or both(red) as in this video?
Beautiful what type of adhesive are u using?
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?
Very interesting. Since coloured paints have (mostly) always been available why was it necessary to gild frames and not paint them or otherwise leave them natural? Does gilding have any practical merits or is it purely decorative? Well, I suppose I'll have to start googling...
que pegamento le aplica al yeso. gracias y tambien cual le aplica al bol. muy amable

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.
Hello!
as polishing the surface?
4:55
THanks :)
That looks like a pain in the ass. Came out cool and finished with some Miley Cyrus. T’was a delight my good man.
супер
Salute, Tutu...What on earth are you doing in there?
Which gum is used to stick gold leaf. Can I use fevicol ???
Why is the frame moistened with a brush and some liquid before applying the gold flakes - what is the liquid / fluids?
un bellissimo video esplicativo sulla doratura a guazzo, io non l'ho mai fatto ma mi piacerebbe tanto....Complimenti!!! - dove si trova questo laboratorio di cornici e doratura ?
How to prepare this paste,I want a brush that takes cold leap pls
What is apply liquid before apply gold flax
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Gerçekten çok güzel
How come scrubbing the gold foil after its been placed makes it look shinier? Is there a layer above it that mattes it out? What is that hook like brush used to scrub called?
+Ryan Chong The tool is an agate burnisher with the tip as an agate stone used for burnishing the gold leaf, polishing/compacting the gold leaf to the surface to a shiny level. Gold leaf is so thin so no there's nothing below that layer aside the prepared surfaces of gesso and bole layers.
+Ryan Chong its called polishing.
😍
First of all what we have to use for this gold paper plz information me about this
perfection. All these “antiqued and distressed” things people “create” make me cringe, while this is proper and relaxing to look at. Why in the world is there even a trend to make something new and make it looking old is odd to me, things age with age, and back in the day nobody tried making something old, it’s just the modern people’s problem of some sort of psychological dissonance 😅 this is verrrrry pretty, love that there’s no lines, looking SOLID GOLD
Hello i want to try gilding as well, but i can’t find color clay for bole, is there anything i can use for replacement? Thanks!
I want to know the glue material
What kind of glue is gold plated?
Bnas tardes, quisiera saber con qué es que pega las hojas y conque es que le da ese brillo que no logro ver si es una espátula ,muchas gracias.
what kind of glue did you use?
how much would that cost to have done
What is the brand of this gold leaf???
Very much
hi everyone!who know's where can I find the best gold leaf water gilding?Thanks
What is the brown stuff she uses just before adding the gold leafs?
Are you referring to the red gilder's clay base, also called "Armenian bol" ? Because the liquid used just before the add of the gold leaf is just water (with a bit of alcohol and rabbit skin glue).
I want to buy gold glue, then how do you?
You send the website to order me to buy glue and tools to make the gold ball up
Please can you explain the layer of paint use?
The first layer was liquid gesso, to smooth out the wood area.
Second, what is the color paint use?
Final layer is water?
Many thanks!
The second layer is a yellow "gilder's clay base". You add rabbit skin glue in it. The third layer is a red gilder's clay base, also called "Armenian bole", with the same glue in it.
At the end, the final layer for fixing the gold leaf is water (+ alcohol + rabbit skin glue, in very small proportion)
Việt Nam 🇻🇳 tôi muốn hỏi loại nước để dát vàng đó là nước gì và cái miệng nhựa nó là miếng gì vậy sao mà vàng nó bóng vậy ạ
Can we use imitation gold leaf?
You can, but it is not the same techniques. Imitation gold leaf are very easy to put. It is very simple but… It will never be as beautiful as pure gold leaf : it is whiter, colder and more metallic. And it ages not very well. You can use it for small things but if you have something really beautifully sculptured you want to gild, use pure gold.
Do you varnish gold after gilding is done?
Yes protect from incitement for apply varnish my what's up 7984962846
