Wrights of Lymm has been a household name amongst the signwriting trade for many years, and we’ve seen customers coming to us as young apprentices and returning year after year as they become such talented traditional signwriters for all their gold leaf, paints, brushes etc. This photo shows the loyalty we are so proud of with our customers with his collection of our brush tins from years gone by . Thanks Andrew of Manning Signs for your continued support !!
This room known as the Chamber Room was created in the 1540s as part of a palatial mansion built from the ruins of a Carthusian monastery. It was embellished around 1570 by the Duke of Norfolk, who inserted a grand fireplace and a lavishly decorated ceiling. The Great Chamber was intended as a room of splendour and prestige. Elizabeth I met her Privy Council here in 1558 before her coronation and both she, and James I were hosted here on many occasions after that. After 1611, when the site became a school and almshouse, the governors held their meetings here. The room you see today has been altered over the centuries, including remodelling after fire damage during the second world war. This has recently been restored by Hesp & Jones, outstanding gilders whom are a pleasure to work with in supplying them with Gold Leaf for spectacular jobs such as these.

We have been supplying Sarah with Gold Leaf and gilding products for some time now and seen many beautiful pieces of work that she has created. We wanted to share this with you. Formally designed by Christopher Borch (1817-1896) for the Parliament House in Oslo, Norway, this coat of arms has been recreated and beautifully gilded by Sarah using Wrights Gold Leaf and hangs back on the wall in the Parliament House.
