Furniture Restoration: Gilt, Ormolu And Painted

July 9, 2008

Gilding is the fixing of gold leaf to a prepared surface and rubbing it into place. Gold leaf will not tarnish: it lasts for years, giving a true gold look to any wood, metal or plaster base. The lavish and decadent lives of yester year found the need to have almost every piece of furniture that they owned gilded, really evident in the 17th and 18th centuries across the globe. Today these fine pieces still have the same allure, but for totally different reasons - being antiques.

Old gold leaf antiques can be cleaned with water containing a few drops of ammonia. New gold leaf can be bought in plain sheets, or in transfers that have a tissue backing. The transfer sheets are much easier to use than the plain sheets. When applying gold leaf to a restored area, make sure that the surface is clean and dry. Paint the base with Japan gold size and leave it to get ‘tacky’. Lay the sheets in place, slightly overlapping at the edges; rub them down carefully, following the direction of the overlap, with a clean cotton cloth until the edges blend evenly together. The knack is to lay the sheets on the surface when the size has reached the correct degree of ‘tackiness’. If the size is too wet, the leaf crinkles; if it is too dry, the leaf will not stick.

Office Desk Chairs

July 5, 2008

The most important aspect of your office is the office chair - it should not just be comfortable: it should be designed to allow you to work long hours without developing back aches.

When seated, the height of the chair should be such that your feet can rest comfortably on the floor. Your thighs should be parallel to the floor and your body angled between 90-105 degrees. The chair should offer your back good support and for this you should consider an ergonomically designed chair.

Choose a chair in which you can adjust the seat height. The seat should have enough depth and width to support even a larger sized user. The forward or backward tilt of the seat and back rest should be adjustable. The chair must be made of easy to maintain material with comfortable padding. The fabric should breath and the color must not run onto clothes. If the chair has an armrest it should be adjustable and allow the arms to be placed comfortably and shoulders positioned in a normal stance. The elbows and lower arm should rest lightly. If you choose a swivel chair then it must have high quality mechanicals so that you can reach different areas of the desk without straining and move around without the wheels getting stuck.
