Gold Leaf
Gold Leaf, also known as gilding, is the art of covering a surface with a thin layer of gold.
Gold leaf can add excitement and a certain level of sophistication to just about any surface, and can be applied to a wide range of surfaces including cornices, ceiling mouldings, building materials, and furniture.
The effect can also be softened with washes or acids to create an aged look.
