It wouldn\u2019t be a strong and amazing\u00a0Luxury Design & Craftsmanship<\/em> Summit<\/strong>\u00a0if it didn\u2019t present showcases of several arts<\/strong> of craftsmanship<\/strong><\/em>.

One of those traditional arts it\u2019s the\u00a0Leaf Gilding!<\/strong>\u00a0Well used by the Covet Group\u2019s Brands in several top-selling pieces, Leaf Gilding refers to a decorative technique for applying fine gold leaf<\/strong> to solid surfaces such as wood, stone, or metal to give a thin coating of gold. It seems easy, but it\u2019s a very complex technique that isn\u2019t easily mastered, and in the Summit<\/strong>, you\u2019ll be able to understand why in a stunning live showcase!<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also get the opportunity to get in touch with another classic art of Portugal:\u00a0The Lace of Bilros<\/strong>. This lace is produced by the successive crossing or interspersed of textile yarns, executed on the pike and with the aid of pins and bobbins. This textile art form was in decadence during the 20th Century, but to avoid its extinction, the Portuguese Government started several programs aimed to maintain the industry and tradition of Lace of Bilros well alive for centuries to come!<\/p>\n
