Gold Leaf Lettering.

Hello, I found one reference for an artist for real gold leaf lettering I’m looking to get done on some brownstone front doors on the glass transom. I was wondering if anyone else has any leads? Thanks

I had my brownstone done. The owner of Backyard bar (388 5th avenue park slope) has has been doing this kind of work for years. He charged me about $200 from what I remember. Ask for Jeff ….I would post a picture but am limited to 512kb

Lawrence at Ancient-art. Beautiful free-hand authentic gold-leaf work. He can do anything you want.

What about Aimee German? I saw her recommended here a while back and am actually thinking of contacting her to have house numbers painted on my entrance door. Per the rec on Brownstoner – she can be reached at aimshow@hotmail.com or 718-312-9430\. The post about her includes a picture of her work that looks pretty darn good.

You may also want to consider House Number Lab, a DIY stick on application using genuine gold leaf. We used their product in lieu of hiring an artist to hand paint and are very happy with the results. http://www.housenumberlab.com/
