Frequently asked questions
What is gold leaf gilding
Gold leaf gilding is the process of applying very thin sheets of gold to a surface to create a decorative finish. It is used for both aesthetic and protective purposes.
How long does gold leaf last
When applied correctly and maintained properly, gold leaf can last for many years, even decades. Exterior applications may require occasional maintenance depending on environmental conditions.
Can gilding be applied to any surface
Gold leaf can be applied to a wide range of surfaces including wood, metal, plaster, glass, and stone. Proper preparation is essential for achieving the best results.
