The project to gild 16 pillar pedestals is now half-way done and looking very sweet indeed.  As a gilder since 1981 this is one of my biggest commissions.

Working with John on the base pedestals of 16 grand pillars in the main banqueting hall.

Fuelled by hot tea and digestive biscuits it’s often great fun but always serious, dedicated work.

Welcome to distressed gilded mirror effects

Antiqued gilded mirrors are becoming increasingly popular as focal point design statements whether in the lounge, restaurant or master bedroom.  I have been gilding aged mirror panels for years now and have a few new samples here for you to enjoy.

Just email me for design ideas and costings for your gilded project.

Glass gilding s something I specialse in. It is a classic touch to any project but can add striking contemporary richness when handled in a fresh way.

 The Power of the Sign Motif today –

Article by Traditional London sign-writer Nick Garrett

Decorative motif is making a resurgence these days in signwriting, brand and graphic design and frankly I love it!  As a dedicated signwriter I just love work that is varied, creative and fun… here are few recent mural motifs showing quite a variety of themes.

When designing a sign or mural I provide detailed layouts that present all aspects of the project.

The final signage product always benefits from this professional design led process – and is included in my competitive service.

Decorative Murals

I’m getting a lot of request for decorative murals recently which is exactly where I’m at.

Vintage, Retro or Modern murals…  I can create your next dynamic sign design exactly to your visual or architectural drawing – your brand will be digitally plotted and then painted by hand, with 2 durable coats of finest sign-writer’s enamel.  Combining digital and analogue in the best possible way.
