The Gilders involved in this project were Scott Telfer, Stewart McLaren and Damian McLaughlin and they also had holiday cover from Ashley & Sarah Bishop and David Kynaston.

 

Scott, Stewart and Damian were asked to renovate St Andrews Cathedral in Glasgow, a building that dates back to 1814.

The building had been in a state of disrepair for a number of years and they literally had a blank canvas

to work from.  The interior fabric of the building is a plaster copy covering the original stonework. All decoration including the

faux stonework is Painted and Gilded.  Approximately 2300 books of 23.5ct Gold Leaf were used to create the effect spread over a timescale of 5 months.  The ceiling area and the top of pillars took about  2 months to complete. They then had to wait for other trades to finish their work and remove the top half of scaffold to complete the lower sections. There was a 3 month gap before they could get back to finish the project.

 

Another happy customer !!!
