Green Mountain Graphics was recently honored by being selected to install the Papal Crest, and the Crest of the Archbishop of New York, on the glass doors of their office suite of the Catholic Center at 1011 First Ave, NYC.  The crests are genuine gold leaf, with silkscreened and hand painted details.

Gold leaf is a traditional form of signage, now used for only the most prestigious installations.  The earliest known use of gold leaf dates back to the Ancient Egyptians, who applied gold leaf to the pyramids.  Today, gold leaf is manufactured by combining solid gold with varying amounts of silver or copper to achieve a specific effect.  The process is partially automated, and partially relies on traditional craftsmanship including hand-hammering to a thickness of 0.025 - 0.028 mm.  

The process of creating gold leaf signage is time-consuming and requires a unique combination of craftsmanship and artistry.  The steps include priming the surface, applying the base color, applying the "size" or adhesive that is used to adhere the gold leaf to a surface, and then applying the leaf.  Finally, a protective coat of sealant is added as the finishing touch. 

Few sign companies offer gold leaf signage today.  We are pleased to be recognized for the excellence of our artisan's work by the Archdiocese of New York, among other customer's who demand the very finest signage.

When you want signage that is truly special, consider gold leaf.  We offer a variety of gold and silver leaf finishes, and have the expertise to create signage that is extraordinary.  Green Mountain Graphics is your one-stop source for all your signage needs.
