Gilding

Gold leaf and gilded signage has an important place in New York City and global history. The vibrancy and eye-catching nature of real gold cannot be matched by any other substance on earth. Gold leaf can bring elegance and class to nearly any building, and can be used as a focus or an accent.

Noble Signs specializes in both reverse glass and surface gilding, including special techniques like double glass gilds, burnishing, and more. Noble Signs Co-Founder Mac Pohanka studied traditional water gilding and decorative painting for three years with the accomplished Brooklyn gilding studio, Van Gregory & Norton.
