Restoring gold edges on fine china

October 7, 2019 12:47 PM

I inherited my grandmother's china and I just ordered some extra pieces to fill in holes in her collection. They arrived a little more worn than was disclosed - the gilt edges are worn off in places. Is that kind of damage fixable, and if so, who can I hire to do it?

It's called re-gilding and an antique restorer can do this or you can do it with a lustre paint if you have access to a kiln.
