Gold leaf signwriting London is a traditional craft that brings elegance and character to historic shopfronts. We recently completed a hand-produced gold leaf fascia on a tall Victorian building in north London, transforming the client’s digital design into a striking piece of signwriting art.

The process began with close stakeholder collaboration to confirm the layout and scale. This included the client and designer, offering them digital visuals showing varying layouts of the design on the fascia. This allowed them to envsion the design/s on the shopfront.

Using the finalised digital file, we created full-size paper templates to ensure accuracy. This allowed us to transfer the design directly onto the fascia, keeping every letter and detail in perfect proportion.

Once the design was set, the traditional gold leaf signwriting London process could begin. Using the finest materials and expert craftsmanship, we carefully hand-gilded each element of the lettering. This combination of time-honoured signwriting methods and premium products ensures not only a beautiful finish but also durability against weathering.

Throughout the project, we worked closely with the client to ensure their vision was fully realized. The result is a bespoke gold leaf shopfront sign that enhances the Victorian character of the building. The client was delighted with the outcome, which highlights the value of traditional signwriting in modern London.
