OLD GOVERNOR'S MANSION 2004

During the summer of 2004 and while working on the St. Joseph's project, we were asked by TL to go to Milledgeville, GA to do some gilding to the decorative elements located on the interior of the Old Governor's Mansion dome. (Click here, to find out more about the Old Governor's Mansion).









All the decorative elements in this dome were gilded using a 23k Monarch brand gold and they were sized the day before by Dave S. It is interesting to notice the range of quality between different brands of leaf. The stuff one can buy at a hobby store severely pales in comparison to real gold leaf from a reputable company.
