      I agree. I have never and will never restore a painting, but I often tinker with reviving other old and worn items, and I still feel I can gain something from watching this channel.
      And if you like the ambience of Julians videos, you might like Ford Hallam too. A different kind of artist, but he does some amazing work in metalshaping and engraving, and also follows tradition.

      I imagine that the gold leaf got damaged and they priced up a repair, it was too expensive to do or the fashion changed so out went the gold leaf and in came some paint to match the latest trend. They kind up recycled it by painting it then inadvertently gave Julian a job to do much later on in its life 😀

    I know people before were talking about how the juxtaposition of the aged frame with the restored painting made it feel like a window into the past. But oh my god, this is beautiful. For me the gold and contrasted with the cool tones of the painting really gives it a window feeling. Like you're inside a warm, luxurious store front looking out at a cold winter's day. I think it really adds to the impact of the painting. Excellent work.
    I also completely didn't realize before cleaning that the frame was supposed to be all gold. I thought it was mostly white/pale paint with gold filigree or something on the raised carvings. What causes that kind of thick and solid grime?
    EDIT: I didn't realize there was a narrated version. Checking it out now, and it seems some of my questions are answered already.

      It's called aging the gilt or something, my mother did gold leaf and gilt work for Collins (dictionaries, encyclopedias etc) and it's weirdly quite destructive work, however the strength of gold leaf once applied is phenomenal, you can see he used different tapes to give different aged effects etc.
      My mum told me once that after every shift they were searched because pure 18/24ct gold leaf back in the day was expensive so not a crumb was wasted. They spent at least half an hour scouring the tables with a brush to gather up even gold leaf dust.

    So glad I discovered this channel. By far one of my favorites. While sharing your TH-cam channel with friends I pointed out that it appears you really have to be a bit of a Renaissance man in order to be a competent restorer. At the very least you have to be a carpenter, a chemist, a historian and a fine artist. The work is phenomenal, and watching the process is a lot of fun. Also, what a great way to get people into art history. Do you find time to paint and exhibit your own work, or does this take the majority of your time? Thanks for sharing! Can't wait for the next video.
