Our services include gilding conservation and restoration, such as necessary for soiled or damaged gilt frames, statues, and figures. Using materials and techniques that have remained relatively unchanged for centuries, Fallon & Wilkinson, LLC is fully versed in the time honored techniques of traditional water and oil gilding. Common materials we use are traditional gesso, gold leaf, silver leaf, Dutch metal, and compo. We also employ the latest conservation methods to consolidate flaking gilding and compensate for losses.
