Wrights of Lymm are proud to have recently been working with LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) in providing them with our expertise in Gold Beating since 1840 for their online exhibition – Wonders of Gold

 

LBMA intends the Wonders of Gold to be a permanent and growing part of its information offer.  So, what is now on show is a starting point.  The rather eclectic selection of items included so far does not provide a comprehensive coverage of the history of gold and the market which LBMA now serves.  Rather, they have been selected because they are interesting, significant and (in most cases) visually appealing.  In coming months and years, new items that meet these criteria will be added.

How wonderful is this wall painted in honour of the NHS and the people that have sadly lost their lives to Covid-19, by long standing customer of Wrights, George Hebborn. This piece of art made it on the BBC News earlier this month.

George is an amazing and talented fairground artist and traditional signwriter, you can see more of his work on his instagram @georgehebborn

The finished pieces from upcycling is a talent on its own. Look at the amazing difference Paint me Pretty have made to this bureau. The bureau is painted in @dixiebellepaint Silk Paint in Deep Sea, the inside is gold leaf from @wrights_of_lymm & gold decor wax from @redesignwithprima & finished with a funky wallpaper sealed with Gator Hide. Currently selling their pieces on Instagram @paintmepretty_upcycling….well worth a look !!
