WHAT WE OFFER

Gold Leaf Signwriting

We offer traditional gold leaf signwriting that elevates your brand with timeless elegance. Every letter is painted by hand using genuine 23-carat gold leaf, applied with precision and care. Whether it’s a pub in Belfast, a shop in Galway, or a café in a heritage building, our gilded signs create lasting visual impact and charm. We work directly on wood, masonry, metal, and other prepared surfaces.

Architectural Gilding

Our architectural gilding service brings a refined finish to engraved lettering, mouldings, plaques, or exterior details in stone, wood, or plaster. Often used to restore or enhance churches, heritage buildings, and civic spaces, this method adds dignity and visibility to architectural elements while preserving their historical integrity.

Glass Gilding (Verre Églomisé)

BUsing the centuries-old technique of verre églomisé, we apply gold leaf in reverse onto glass to create richly reflective, luxurious finishes. Popular for mirrored signs, pub windows, and high-end retail displays, this process combines matte and gloss gilding, sometimes with blending, acid etching, or painted elements. Each piece is handcrafted and one-of-a-kind.

Gilding Restoration

We offer sensitive, skilled gilding restoration for signs, mirrors, plaques, and architectural surfaces that have aged or weathered over time. Our work respects the original craftsmanship while restoring the gold leaf’s brilliance, making it ideal for historic buildings, monuments, and bespoke heirloom signage.

Personalised Gold Leaf Art & Home Decor

We create bespoke gilded pieces for private clients — perfect as gifts or personalised home decor. From mirrors and plaques to quotes, house numbers, or initials, each piece is hand-painted and gilded with genuine gold leaf in our studio. A unique way to celebrate a special moment with timeless elegance.

All gilding work is designed and developed by Joha Muñe using traditional techniques, genuine gold leaf, and a meticulous attention to detail.
