Gold Leaf & Gilded Elegance – Hand-Painted Lettering Reimagined
There’s a quiet renaissance happening from door to door around town — hand-painted signwriting has gracefully returned to glitter our homes and high streets. It’s a beautiful, glowing resurgence, reflecting a deepening appreciation for the timeless glamour of Victorian-era gilded lettering. These luminous letter and numeral forms, are now shining once again — quite literally — in gold.
At the heart of my work is a devotion to detail. I specialise in researching and recreating vintage lettering using traditional signwriter techniques, with 24-carat gold leaf, soft shading, and distinctive retro outlines that capture the richness of a bygone age. Every stroke celebrates craftsmanship and elegance.
Clients often come to me inspired by memories — eager to restore a treasured inscription, revive a historic fanlight, or create something truly bespoke with heirloom significance. Whether working from your design or dreaming something entirely new together, I bring passion, precision, and a touch of gilded magic.
It all begins with a conversation — feel free to call, and let’s start crafting something golden.
