18th Century Mirror, DIY Plaster Casting & Gilding | Friday at the Chateau - Journey to the Château

In this week's "Friday at the Chateau" video, Stuart does some repair work by recreating missing pieces for an 18th Century gilded mirror. He shows how he creates his own molds in order to replicate missing pieces in plaster, and then uses gold leaf, gilding waxes and other products to match the current finish of the antique mirror.

This is the fourth video in a new series called "Friday at the Chateau" on the "Journey to the Chateau" channel. In this series, Patrick and Stuart will be sharing short videos that they release every Friday from Château de Colombe which feature a single topic such as: cleaning copper pots, cooking favourite dishes, repairing or upholstering furniture, napkin folding techniques, setting a dinner table, gold gilding, or any other topic or DIY project that you might find useful.

Join Patrick and Stuart on their journey to find a neglected, forgotten, or crumbling château or castle in France, and then continue to follow them as they work on its restoration, rénovation, decoration, and furnishing. Along the way, they will also create and share videos on DIY projects, their preparation for having gîtes for guests, and an event venue in their chateau (wedding, birthday, anniversary, organization or club meetings, retreats, etc.).
