Gilding reached its highest level of expression in France during the reign of Louis XIV. The same techniques and standards of excellence are alive today in ateliers of Paris and Aix-en-Provence, where Master Gilders' director Laurence Filet received her training, honed her professional skills and developed her unique flair and eye for contemporary and classical design.

Master Gilders brings the traditional art of gilding to California and beyond and welcomes enquiries from individuals and design professionals alike.
