In the realm of art and architecture, few materials exude the timeless elegance and opulence of gold leaf. When applied skillfully, gold leafing can transform ordinary surfaces into exquisite masterpieces. One such artist who has mastered the art of gilding gold leaf onto church altars and marble pillars is Shehzad Khan, the creative force behind the MIDAS TOUCH Gold Leaf Atelier in Mumbai. In this article, we'll explore the artistry and craftsmanship of Shehzad Khan and how his work with gold leaf has breathed new life into church interiors, elevating them to divine spaces.


  • The Art of Gold Leafing: Gold leafing, also known as gilding, is a centuries-old technique that involves applying thin sheets of gold to various surfaces, typically prepared with an adhesive known as "size." This method requires exceptional skill and precision to ensure that the gold adheres smoothly, without wrinkles or imperfections. The results are nothing short of breathtaking, as the gilded surface radiates a warm, luminous glow.

  • MIDAS TOUCH by Shehzad Khan: Shehzad Khan, the founder of MIDAS TOUCH Gold Leaf Atelier in Mumbai, is a renowned artisan in the world of gilding. His passion for this traditional art form, combined with his dedication to perfection, has made him a sought-after figure in the industry. Shehzad's mastery lies in his ability to understand the unique requirements of each project and adapt his technique accordingly, ensuring that every gilding project is a work of art.

  • Gilding the Church Altar: Church altars hold profound significance as the focal point of religious worship and devotion. To enhance their beauty and spiritual impact, Shehzad Khan and his team at MIDAS TOUCH offer expert gold leafing services for church altars. They meticulously restore and embellish these sacred spaces, enriching them with the unmatched radiance of gold.


Gilding Technique And Process:


  1. Surface Preparation: The first step in any gilding project is surface preparation. In the case of church altars, this may involve cleaning and restoring the marble or woodwork to ensure a pristine canvas for the gold leaf.

  2. Sizing Application: Shehzad Khan applies the adhesive size carefully to the prepared surface. The size acts as a medium that allows the gold leaf to adhere securely.

  3. Gilding: The delicate gold leaf sheets are applied by hand with utmost precision. Shehzad Khan and his team ensure that every inch of the altar's surface is flawlessly covered, making certain that the final result is a dazzling, seamless expanse of gold.

  4. Burnishing and Sealing: After the gold leaf is applied, it is gently burnished to achieve the desired shine and smoothness. To protect the gilded surface and ensure its longevity, a clear sealer is applied, safeguarding the gold from tarnish and environmental factors.

  5. Quality Assurance: MIDAS TOUCH takes immense pride in its work, conducting thorough quality checks to guarantee that every project meets its stringent standards of perfection.


Transforming Churches into Divine Spaces:


Shehzad Khan's artistry has the power to transform ordinary church altars into heavenly spaces that inspire awe and reverence. The interplay of light on the gilded surfaces creates an ethereal atmosphere, enhancing the spiritual experience for worshippers.


Gold leafing is not just an art; it's a sacred alchemy that turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. Shehzad Khan and MIDAS TOUCH Gold Leaf Atelier have demonstrated this alchemy time and again through their remarkable gilding work on church altars and marble pillars. Their dedication to preserving the beauty of sacred spaces while infusing them with timeless elegance is a testament to the enduring allure of gold leafing.
