Preserving tradition with an eye to the future:
As a well-coordinated team, we are focused on preserving the rich tradition of gilding techniques and passing on this knowledge. Whether through apprenticeships or preparing for academic careers, fostering young talent is close to our hearts.

This commitment has already borne fruit:
Both in 2023 and 2024, we produced the national champion in gilder apprentice pieces.

MASTER  GUILDER  BENJAMIN  FRANCK

Benjamin Franck began his career as an apprentice at the renowned Lauth Gallery in Ludwigshafen. After completing his apprenticeship, he undertook numerous professional trips, including to Denmark, to acquire broad international expertise. He successfully passed his master craftsman examination at the Gilder Guild in Hamburg in 2013.

 

Mentored by figures such as the late Neuhofen calligrapher Helmut Hirmer (✝ 2014) and master plasterer Marcel Chaudot, Benjamin Franck ultimately pursued a career in conservation, inspired by the versatility of the craft.

 

In addition to a steadily growing team of permanently employed professionals, we also receive support from a broad network of freelance, academically trained conservators from various subdisciplines.
