Gold Leaf Transom Lettering for Dupont Studios

Designs & Signs in Edgewater, Maryland, created this gold leaf transom lettering for the front entrance of Dupont Studios, located at 1709 19th St. NW in Washington, DC. We used 23 karat gold leaf on the glass transom. The gold key and lock images are custom elements that set this transom apart from most others. Gold leaf lettering on glass adds classic charm to any entrance.

Our Experience with Gold Leaf Lettering

We have been gilding transoms and shop windows in Washington, DC, for 50 years. Our notable projects include gold leaf installations at the corporate offices of The Lincoln Center for Performing Arts and The US Postal Service headquarters. We also assisted with gold leaf restorations at the Marine Corps Memorial. In addition, our gold leaf lettering adorns the windows of specialty shops and eateries throughout the city.

Gold Leaf Lettering for Homes and Shops

Gold leaf transom lettering can include a business name, a street number, or a custom image like the key and lock shown here. We work from a drawing that we review with you before the gilding begins. That way, you see the layout and the style of the lettering first.

The Dupont Studios Entrance

Dupont Studios is an apartment building in northwest Washington, DC. The gold key and lock design now welcomes residents and visitors at its front entrance.
