Gilding
is the adornment of a surface with gold or metal leaf.
The
tissue thin leaf is magical. It creates a warmth and luster
that is unachievable with any other material. It transforms
the ordinary into the remarkable, adding distinction to what
may otherwise be overlooked.
From
ancient times to the present, picture frames, furniture, signs,
architectural details, moldings, domes and precious objects
have all been transformed by the application of leaf.
This magnificent process creates an exciting, sensuous and
elegant environment.
