Church glass gilding by Designs & Signs is a traditional way to bring a historic building back to life. Gold leaf address numbers appear prominently on this glass transom above a historical church entry. Designs & Signs practices traditional hand application of genuine gold leaf, and we have installed many classic gold leaf address numbers at historical sites and private residences.

Church glass gilding in religious settings
In church architecture and religious art, gold leaf signals the divine and carries spiritual significance. In ancient Egypt, massive temples held many priceless gold objects. Later, the empires of Rome and Byzantium introduced more subtle uses of gold within the church. In Constantinople, the famous church of Hagia Sophia originally had gold leaf on its pillars and wall paintings. Today, gilded decorations remain prominent in churches, mosques, temples, and other forms of liturgical art. In conclusion, gold leaf remains prominent in all religions.
