 | Gold Leaf SignsProduced for ourselves. We used to have a rather elegant Georgian shop with offices, this little sign outside the front door demonstrated many of our in-house techniques, compimented our Wedgewood green and cream fascade, and generally (so our neighbours said) enhanced the entire street. |

Gold Leaf Coat of ArmsProduced for Montgomeryshire County Council.
The use of gold leaf is not obvious in this sign but it has been used on some of the leaves in the heraldic mantle. On entering this county it will attract the attention of the motorist long before the modern reflective material will, which forms the white background of the sign.
