Somewhere around 1870 the business was transferred to premises in 19 Bridge Street, Manchester. Here the work was carried out in a cellar and passers-by were able to watch the activity through a grille in the pavement. The Stonehouse family have been beating gold leaf since 1936, with Eric Stonehouse being the first family member to work at his uncles firm – Smiths the Goldbeaters of Bridge Street

Shell gold is highly valued by professional framers, conservators, and restorers because it allows them to make precise repairs and decorative enhancements that would be difficult with gold leaf alone.
Here are the main reasons framers use shell gold:
✨ Invisible repairs – It is ideal for touching up small areas of worn or damaged gilding on antique picture frames, making repairs blend seamlessly with the original finish.
🖌️ Fine detail work – Applied with a brush, shell gold is perfect for intricate mouldings, carved ornamentation, and delicate decorative lines where laying gold leaf would be impractical.
🖼️ Frame restoration – Conservators use it to restore missing highlights on gilt frames while preserving as much of the original gilding as possible.
💛 Real gold finish – Traditional shell gold is made from genuine gold, so it matches the colour, lustre, and longevity of original water-gilded or oil-gilded frames far better than metallic paints.
⏳ Durability – Unlike imitation gold paints, real shell gold will not tarnish, ensuring restorations remain beautiful for decades.
🎨 Controlled application – Because it is water-activated and applied with a fine brush, restorers can work with exceptional precision, even in tiny recesses and ornate carvings.
For professional framers working on valuable antique or museum-quality frames, shell gold is considered an essential restoration material because it enables authentic, conservation-grade repairs while maintaining the frame's historical integrity.
