A comprehensive introduction to oil and water-based gilding, the procedures used, and the materials required. Very helpful for beginners, but also excellent for problem-solving by experienced gilders. It covers every aspect of gilding in-depth, with chapters on materials, surface preparation, oil gilding, gesso, water gilding, and special techniques. Effectively illustrated with concise drawings.
This book sets down detailed s and explanations of the traditional oil and water-based gilding methods in a way that another craftsman can follow. Like any skill, gilding requires practice, but if the well-tried methods are followed, and the would-be gilder is prepared to use more gold leaf than the professional, they should be able to produce satisfactory results.
