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....
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.
AMAZING!!! SO RELAXING TO JUST WATCH YOU WORK!!! THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEO!!!
...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.
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!
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!
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
What a gorgeous frame!
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!
Wow. Such amazing skill, beautiful
Congratulations. Great work.
Gorgeous work
Superb! Stunning!
Wonderful work!
What is apply liquid before apply gold flax
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.
Good video and good sharing👍👍👍....stay safe and stay connected...
Talented for sure!!!
AAAAAMAZING!
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...
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?
you love your job, i can see that in the way you work, delicate and perfect, thanks for sharing your technic.. greetings from colombia...
beautiful!
Hello!Could you describe the process step by step? Thank you!
потрясающе, отличное видео
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 works
que pegamento le aplica al yeso. gracias y tambien cual le aplica al bol. muy amable
Really Beautiful Work
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?
This is beautiful
beautiful
Very professional, to be honest I liked the frame without the guilding. But this is the customer's taste.
Salute, Tutu...What on earth are you doing in there?
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...
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.
superb Work done 👍 I M also doing gold and silver leaf in Interior flied but you are Awesome Very Good
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!
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.

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.
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?
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
I love this job......
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!
beautiful workmanship! I am interested in knowing what it cost to gild that frame?
Why is the frame moistened with a brush and some liquid before applying the gold flakes - what is the liquid / fluids?
That looks like a pain in the ass. Came out cool and finished with some Miley Cyrus. T’was a delight my good man.
how much would that cost to have done
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 ?
what kind of glue did you use?
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?
What kind of glue is gold plated?
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)
i m dying with envy. i ll never be able to do this....lol .
Welcome
Why do not I cut the leaves off? I put the gold up and cut with a knife, but it is not definitive. Or are you buying the knife, should be made of iron and sharp
Can you just use yellow bole alone for gold leaf or both(red) as in this video?
super
awesome.

Do you varnish gold after gilding is done?
Yes protect from incitement for apply varnish my what's up 7984962846
Hello!
as polishing the surface?

THanks :)
Beautiful in everything work & video
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow. 👍🏼
just wow
Does the bole have an expiry date?
only in the sense that when it has been mixed with water or rabbit glue these will go stale, the glue does not last long, maybe a week in the fridge. when dry the bole will last forever
супер
Very much
Hermoso
miley playing in the background. lol
Which glue used for gilding
Rabbit skin glue
veryvery
Video muto, quindi molto didattico.
wow that made me do a huge pooh watching this. My bowels felt relaxed a loose and a 12 inch turd fell out abit early and landed on the carpet.
+the turdmonster U GOT IT MAN
When you stumble upon someone that clearly has a poop fetish or obsession... I’ve seen it all
pubic loo ??
love z expression
You should at the very least EXPLAIN what water gilding is!!
ليش مصعبه الامور
can you please send that frame to my address :D
It's good to see Woodglut have new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.
this is way too perfect. I am a gilder myself, but we try to make it look messy and purposefully imperfect. I do not like how perfect this thing looks. it looks like it was spray painted.
Good luck to your sloppy work then.

I get hired by billionaires of Vancouver to do their gilding in their homes. so all luck is on my side. thanks.
if you have not heard of antique look in gilding, then I should not be the one to educate you.
it's not sloppy work, it's actually much harder to make it purposefully imperfect then slapping gold leaf on there like candy wrappers. any child can gild like that. we have 16 year olds who do that at my company.
I understand what you're saying. Since the technique predates modern methods probably the original purpose was to make it as perfect as possible. If you take a closer look you will see the signs indicating the way it was made anyways. I of course have not seen anything done by your workshop so I should not say anything about that. For example in case of porcelain a light inspection easily reveals if it was hand painted with a brush or mass produced some way. I do not like intentionally screwed up patterns just to make it visible from meters that it was handmade.
now that you said that, it does look a bit like candy wrapping. :)
Hi, I think that there is a sequal to this video, where they age the frame. I like that she is able to get it so perfect, that way you have the skill to achieve anything you want.
Nessuna spiegazione...né dei prodotti né della procedura. Non utile
We have in Egypt a better way than this Firecracker given to gloss more Aknha take more time
Do you have sample or link to see? I'm looking for a good frame.
It's easy to say you have a better way. Tell us what it is. Show us the proof. Back it up, or back off
I've watched this video over and over. It is SO good, and the young woman is so skillful.
What is the brand of this gold leaf???
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?
I love it. That kind of bling is exactly how it should look like.
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
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!
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.
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
@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
First of all what we have to use for this gold paper plz information me about this
It came out so Beautiful
Hermoso, un excelente trabajo. Saludos desde México.
How to prepare this paste,I want a brush that takes cold leap pls
Nice! Now give it to me!
I want to know the glue material
But then again if it is indeed just water without the prior use of gomelack the frame will become dull much, much sooner...due to oxidation
hi everyone!who know's where can I find the best gold leaf water gilding?Thanks
hello....hello......anybody here?...I hate videos when people can't talk
