wide range of gilding tasks can be entrusted to the highly skilled craftsmen of Ateliers Gohard :

eparture", the art of an expert craftsman, is an exclusively French technique that has been used since the 18th century as a means of adding extra detailing to a work of art.
Using traditionnal tools, the technique consists of chisel-cutting into a thickness of barely more than 1/8th inch of a mixture comprising rabbit-skin glue and whiting, called gesso.
Ateliers Gohard are one of the only companies left in the world still able to work in this technique.
