Nine out of countless restoration projects that I have executed over the years...the first one is about re gilding a Vieux Paris vase, which was my first attempt in removing extra gold leaf and create a pattern of some kind on the surface,as one can see in the second project with the early 19th century Meissen plate and especially in the sixth project of this video where more elaborate designs were accomplished as I moved on from project to project that I have mastered the technique...Now about the third project I show all the steps of re gilding a frame from sanding to applying gome lack, then bolo and finally a hand of 12 hour mixion (glue) before applying the gold leaf itself.Furthermore,in the fourth project we have the use of molding/casting using very simple materials, in order to fill in missing parts of the frame ,then the same procedure as in project three is being folowed for the re gilding part as in the suceeding projects as well.Now in project six we have a complete alteration of an old but boring frame, therefore,the use of a mould but in full scale this time plus restoration of an oil painting.On project seven we have a rescue of an 19th century battered aquarelle,using as one can clearly see parts of paper that perfectly match the original damaged areas,using beige Canson paper and rise starch...Project eight deals with a missing handle of a Noritake vase using primarily epoxy glue,shellac and gold leaf....Where project nine goes in really deep waters,using a mixture of porcelain dust and resin to create a clean surface that enabled me to re do all the enamel and gilt work from the beginning,not recomended for many reasons!!! Finally, a Victorian Conta Boehme match holder is being restored with the use of two different epoxies and a combination of medium,enamels and temperas,to delay yellowing...Have fun watching!!!
