Understanding the appointment
What is a Royal Warrant?
A Royal Warrant of Appointment recognises the regular supply of goods or services to the Royal Household. It permits the holder to display the Royal Arms alongside the wording identifying their appointment.
Royal Warrants are granted for up to five years at a time and are reviewed before renewal.
Our story began in
1840
Specialist knowledge.
Generations of care.
A heritage of craftsmanship
Established in 1840, Wrights of Lymm has a long history of supplying gold leaf and gilding materials to craftspeople.
In 1980, we merged with C.F. Stonehouse & Sons, a family business with gold leaf manufacturing roots dating back to 1936. This brought together two traditions of specialist knowledge and service that continue to shape our business today.
Our materials are used by gilders, conservators, restorers, signwriters, monumental masons and artists, helping to preserve historic decoration and create new work.
Pride in our service
What the appointment means to us
We take great pride in supplying the Royal Household. Holding the Royal Warrant is both an honour and an encouragement to maintain the standards of service, attention to detail and product knowledge on which our business has been built.
Whether we are helping with a restoration project, advising an experienced gilder or guiding someone through their first application of gold leaf, we bring the same care to every enquiry..
