Gilded Glories- The History of Gilding
The art of beating gold leaf and gilding dates back to ancient Egypt. Traditionally craftsmen pounded gold for hours to create sheets that were thin enough to cover even the most finely detailed of surfaces. See in this fascinating lecture artefacts that have been decorated over the centuries in this way.
