Gilders from Paris
Gold leaf being a very fragile material and the task requiring great dexterity and certain expertise, he called on gilders from Paris.
The color of the gold leaves was chosen upstream of the site, with the agreement of the architect of the Buildings of France. However, the latter will say to the contractor, at the time of delivery: “The color of the gold is not the one chosen at the start and under these conditions either you repeat all the gilding at your expense, or you will not be paid ! “

Not a dime to spend
Charles Philippot thus went bankrupt, not having the means to incur new costs to redo the gilding. He even mortgaged his house in order to pay the Parisian gilders.
The gilding thus remained as it was for several years, and the town hall did not have to pay a single penny.
