Gold leafing and hand finishing.
Gold leaf, antique patina and hand-painted finishing that turns a raw casting or print into a temple-ready idol.
Finishing is where a sculpture becomes sacred — hand-applied gold leaf, layered patina and fine detail painting done under natural light until the piece matches its reference exactly.
Applications
- Gold leaf on idols and statues
- Antique bronze and copper patina
- Hand-painted detail and eyes
- Fabric drape and jewellery texture
- Touch-up and restoration finishing
- Matte, satin and high-gloss lacquer
Our workflow.
Consultation
We start with a call to understand the deity, figure or model you need, the setting it will live in, and your timeline.
Reference & Brief
Photos, temple agama guidelines, existing artwork or a rough sketch are gathered into a shared brief.
Digital Sculpt & 3D Scan
We build a digital or clay maquette — scanned or sculpted to scale — reviewed with you before any material is cut.
Prototype
A first article is 3D printed, carved or cast for your physical approval before full production begins.
Casting, Carving & Finishing
Approved work moves to bronze casting, wood carving, moulding or large-format printing, then hand-finished.
Gilding, Painting & Delivery
Gold leafing, patina or paint is applied by hand, then the piece is packed and delivered or installed on site.

From the workshop.
FAQ
Yes. Most commissions start from reference photographs, an existing idol, temple drawings, or even a rough sketch — our sculpting team builds the 3D form from there.
