The Art and Process of Gilding

Gilding is the intricate application of gold leaf to surfaces such as wood, metal, ceramics, and more. The process requires precision, patience, and expertise. Goldbeating involves hammering gold into thin sheets, which are then carefully applied to a prepared surface using an adhesive known as size. Once adhered, the goldleafing is burnished to achieve a smooth and reflective finish.
