Supplying the Gilding and Restoration Trades, Signwriters and Monumental Masons with our Customer base from the London Palaces & Art Galleries to the general public. First manufactured by the Egyptians in 2500 BC. 24 ct gold is still smelted with copper and silver, cast into ingots, rolled, beaten into various thicknesses and finely cut into booklets. This process has not changed over the years, only the technology which has enhanced quality and production.

Wright's of Lymm had some representatives at Terry Colley's Bull & Brush meet a few years ago. The girl who cut the sheets of gold was lightning fast and it was fascinating to watch. They also sell some fine brushes.
