Decorative Gilding is the application of gold leaf, metal leaf or gold-coloured finishes to furniture, mirrors, frames, architectural features and decorative objects. Traditional techniques such as water gilding and oil gilding have been practised for centuries, producing the rich reflective surfaces associated with Georgian, Regency and Victorian interiors. Antique gilding remains highly prized for its craftsmanship, warmth and enduring elegance. *Related Terms*\ Gold Leaf, Gilding, Giltwood, Oil Gilding, Water Gilding.
