In addition to our in-stock collection, our London, based workshop can recreate virtually any 18th or 19th-century English reproduction you can think of.
We are acclaimed worldwide for our levels of authenticity, design and craftsmanship in creating the finest hand carved antique reproduction mirrors and furniture. Inspired by many of the great furniture architects and designers, English Georgian’s products are of unsurpassed quality. Our highly skilled craftsmen use traditional techniques to perfect these authentic designs and have extensive expertise and experience in carving, water gilding in 23.5ct gold Leaf and other decorative finishes.
Drawing on a wealth of knowledge passed down through generations of antiques and restoration experts, English Georgian America produces an outstanding range of mirrors, furniture and furnishings. We endeavor to resource the best materials and practice the most authentic techniques in manufacturing our broad spectrum of products.
The Art of Gilding dates back to Ancient Egypt. The Georgian craftsman perfected the art of gilding to be used as decoration on many of their fine pieces of furniture. When the tomb of Tutankhamen was exhumed, it was found that the Georgian method of gilding is exactly the same as the method used in Tutankhamen’s period. English Georgian continues to use the same methods.
We mix our own Gesso to produce the correct consistency of powder and size and use Armenian Earth Clay to produce the Bole. Even the gold we use is the finest available, 23.5ct, hand beaten in England bearing the Royal seal. All these factors coupled with the experience gained over many years ensures that our clients get the finest possible products.
Finishes
We illustrate the majority of our products in a traditional finish, whether it be Water gilded, Polished, Painted in our aged stone finish or ebonized. However, we are aware that not all environments are suited to these traditional finishes. We offer a bespoke finishing service for these requirements, which allows you to choose the best finish for your piece or project.
Our gilded mirrors and pieces of furniture in the catalog are shown in our standard gilt finish, but alternatively, can be gilded to any level of aging and distressing, to match our clients own specifications. We can also provide metalized finishes to simulate mediums such as Copper, Bronze and other alloys. A mixture of mediums can give our pieces a more relaxed feel and often a more contemporary nature.
