The amazing work by one of our clients Sarah
The amazing work by one of our clients Sarah. This sideboard was thoroughly cleaned, sanded back and primed with Bin shellac. It was then painted using Frenchic After Midnight and sealed with satin varnish. The square rims were painted using Wright’s of Lymm Rich Pale Gold mixed with Posh Chalk infusor. Once the Debona paper was added, the final touch of beauty for the drawers was completed using Wright’s of Lymm gold leaf and sealed with decorators varnish.

We are proud to have recently been working with LBMA
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.
