Custom Gold Leafing with Schmidt’s


The time-consuming process of creating custom gold leaf frames is an art form in and of itself. Creating gold leaf frames was once a trade handed down in families through the generations. Today, few people have mastered the gilding process for custom gold leaf frames and techniques are held as guarded secrets.

From delicate highlights to bold gilded edges, our artisanal techniques transform frames into works of art. This portfolio presents a representative selection of our gold leafing projects.

Enhancing art with custom gold leaf frames by Schmidt’s

    • Adds a sense of depth and luminosity that complements fine art without overpowering it

    • Elevates the perceived value of a piece through handcrafted, traditional artistry

    • Offers a timeless finish that pairs well with both classic and contemporary works

    • Allows for tailored tones — warm, cool, matte, or burnished — to harmonize with the artwork’s palette

    • Creates a subtle reflective quality that draws the eye and enhances visual impact

    • Provides a museum-level, archival option for collectors who want heirloom-grade presentation

    • Reinforces the craftsmanship and intentionality behind the framing, making it part of the artwork’s overall experience

    • Adds a unique, bespoke touch that differentiates the piece from standard framed works
