Gold Leaf Circus Style Letter
Each letter is carefully painted by hand and finished in the lower portion of the letter with 23 carat gold leaf to a perfect mirrored finish. I use the traditional craft of water gilding to achieve this effect.

If you want me to match it to your own colour scheme I'm very happy to do that also.

Hand painted and copper leaf 'circus' style letter (ivory inset)
These ever popular circus style letters are all individually hand painted and then finished with beautiful copper leaf. I use the oil gilding technique in finishing these letters so they have a non reflective finish but still have the beautiful shimmer that only real metal leaf can achieve.
The colour scheme for this 'circus' style consists of a black outline with ivory upper inset and a light grey background, finished with copper leaf in the lower portion of the letter, mounted in a simple but contemporary black frame. Also available in the colour scheme of your choosing, either by selecting from the chart or to match your own colour scheme (I will contact you once you've placed your order to confirm your choice).
These make an ideal gift for fans of traditional hand painted signs or lovers of typography.
They are available in three sizes: Small (13x18 cms), medium (18 x 24 cms) and large (21 x 30 cms) and all are supplied framed and ready to hang.
If you require a bespoke design or a variation on this design then I am able to make that for you. The only limitations are our imaginations! Other shades of gold and copper leaf are available and can be combined in a variety of ways.
