A closer look at our leafing work for a jewellery showroom in New Delhi and a Jain mandir in Mumbai.
For this jewellery showroom in Mehrauli, the client wanted a royal setting that complemented the precious jewellery on display. We applied Gold and antique Gold Leafing to the walls and decorative antique showpieces. The selected finishes brought a warm metallic character to the showroom, supporting its ornate interior theme.
Our work at this Jain mandir in Mumbai combined Gold and Silver Leafing across the doors, walls and ceilings. The two finishes were used together to highlight decorative details throughout the interior. The photograph shows the leafed entrance, carved arch and pillars against the surrounding white marble.
Gold leafing (also called gold leaf gilding) is an ancient art of applying super-thin sheets of gold onto surfaces like walls, ceilings, furniture, and decorative items. This intricate process creates a stunning, luminous finish that not only adds depth and character to any space but also enhances its overall aesthetic appeal. As a result, it has become increasingly popular among homeowners and interior designers alike who seek to create truly unique and luxurious environments.
The art of gold leafing dates back thousands of years, with evidence of its use found in ancient Egyptian tombs and Greek temples. Over time, this technique has evolved and refined, yet its fundamental allure remains unchanged. Today, we continue this time-honoured tradition, blending ancient methods with modern innovations to bring the opulence of gold leafing to contemporary settings.
With our primary studio in Goregaon, Mumbai and additional offices in Bangalore, Hyderabad, and New Delhi, we deliver exceptional Gold Leafing services across the entire country. Our strategically positioned teams of master craftsmen serve both major metropolitan areas and smaller cities throughout India, bringing the timeless elegance of Gold Leaf work to projects of all scales.
