Guilding the theatre
Charles Rhodes, a gilder, using 24-carat gold leaf to restore the ceiling of the Theatre Royal Haymarket, London's only Grade I listed drama theatre, which is undergoing a complete restoration. The murals were painted by Charles Harker in 1904, which was the last time the theatre was restored.
