Wrights have been going since 1840 and it was a delight to see one of our good friend Scott Telfer posting this photo and video of some of Wrights memorabilia that he had come across from a lady whose Grandfather had been a keen painter and signwriter. The brush and Gold leaf booklet is way before our time but so interesting to see !!

Its always a pleasure seeing work in progress and then the finished piece of some of the most talented gilders, artists, signwriters etc that we have the pleasure in supplying.. When looking through Instagram, I came across some work done by one of Wrights many long standing customers Jo Green, of these incredible urns that are part of a pier table.
After many hours of preparation you can see from the photos the urn is now gesssoed, sanded, boled and polished. Ready now for water and oil gilding with Wrights of Lymm’s 23ct Red Gold Leaf and then gently distressed and toned.
