Pair of Capitols

[Prev] [Next] [Up] [Home]

Capitol Restoration – The pair of capitols have dried and cracked. Many scrolls and parts had fallen off and have been lost. The backs of both capitols had never been gilt. The objective is to replace what was missing, gild the backs and make all the new parts and new gold look original. The existing gold on the capitols has been cleaned and the new parts were gold leafed. The new gold was antiqued to match the existing old gold leaf.
