The name Aféith comes from the Gaelic word describing a fine vein-like watercourse running through peat, often dry in the summer. This parallels our cracked gesso texture perfectly. A delicate, organic crack pattern that mirrors the beauty appearing in nature.
Gilded in 23.5kt gold leaf with a maximum scale of cracking, leaving large cells for the shadows and highlights in the gold to resonate creating a vaired depth and lustre.
Our 23.5kt Afèith Cracked Gesso Maxi can be applied to furniture pieces, or to flat and curved panels for wall hanging.
