Master gilder Benjamin Franck from Neuhofen in Palatinate is a specialist in poliment gilding, a centuries-old technique in which a layer of brown clay and hide glue lies beneath the gold leaf. The poliment makes the gold really shine.
Benjamin Franck demonstrates in his workshop how to restore and poliment-gild an old 19th-century picture frame without destroying the historic patina. It will take five weeks before the frame and the painting that goes with it can be seen again at the Kunsthalle Mannheim.
