Gilding is the decorative process of applying a metal layer to a surface to provide unique beauty and richness. Restoration professionals complete this process using thin metal sheets called metal leaf. When applied to a surface using an adhesive, it gives the appearance of solid gold, silver, copper, or another type of metal. Metal leaf can be used for both architectural and exterior gilding.  This video shows the process of gold leaf gilding as our skilled artisan applies gold leaf to a decorative surface.
