General Info:

Gold Leaf Restoration:: Gold Leaf Restoration was founded by Nancy Thorn in 1980, and through the years has grown to serve clientele worldwide, as well as interested customers visiting GLR's sunlit Portland, Oregon, studio. Nancy was introduced to gilding via a student of Daniel Thompson Jr., who taught at Yale in the 1930s and translated several important tomes on medieval painting techniques. Soon after, Nancy trained under two of the East Coast's foremost gilders, Boston's Nils Johnson and Connecticut's Bill Keck, spending several years under their tutelage. Now a master gilder herself, Nancy and her trained staff are typically engaged in a variety of projects, yet are happy to discuss the many options an interested client may consider. Whether it concerns an immense sculpture bound for a luxury cruise ship, or a beloved heirloom in need of restoration, Gold Leaf Restoration can help answer your gilding questions. Please call us today at 503-236-5546. "Gold Leaf Restoration is a world class studio. These people aren't merely frame restorers ; they're artists, the kind you think of when you hear the words Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical. They can take the most abused, damaged, or recklessly restored frames and bring them back to life. Their artistry is commensurate with the art within the frames. I've spent 30 years in the museum and art-collection business and I'd trust Gold Leaf Restoration with the most valuable of pieces. Plus, the staff is great to work with. They're the best. No wonder they're in demand far beyond Portland."
