Gold Plating & Partial Gilding
There’s no mistaking the beauty and prestige of gold. Whether used to highlight a detail, enhance luxury appeal, or restore historic pieces, gold plating and partial gilding require an expert’s hand.
At R & R Polishing Ltd, we provide high-quality gold plating services that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern precision.
Our Technical Expertise:
Utilising controlled electrochemical deposition methods, we apply layers of pure gold or gold alloy coatings onto metals such as brass, bronze, copper, and sterling silver. Our advanced process control ensures uniform thickness, high adhesion strength, and superior surface integrity — critical for both decorative pieces and items requiring functional protection.
For partial gilding, we employ masking techniques, precision plating, and hand-finishing to highlight specific areas, offering creative control and intricate detailing without affecting surrounding surfaces.
Typical Projects Include:
Cutlery and holloware enhancement
Decorative elements and trophies
Luxury hardware and fittings
Restoration of antique objects
Architectural and ecclesiastical commissions
