Wrights of Lymm received a call from Channel 4, asking if we could give our expert advice regarding gold leaf gilding for a program that is currently being filmed called “Barn Restoration”
Featuring the actor Simon O’Brien, as I am a Liverpudlian, I have always known him as the young Damien in Brookside.

The idea of the program is to search for items in an old barn and to refurbish for a profit. He found an old gold framed mirror which did need some tender loving care.

You can watch Simon gilding with gold leaf for the first time and the final outcome when the programme is aired on Channel 4 in January 2016
