Gilding is the art of applying gold to the surface of wood, paper, stucco, glass, metals, textiles, and leather. Gold, this precious metal, has fascinated humans in all ages. Gold represents transcendental spiritual light and expresses divine intelligence.

The love of gold has been exemplified since ages, which has inspired resplendent domes, mosaics, icons, and architecture—each embellished with the excellence of gold. Gold is more significant for its expression of power to suggest richness and splendor. The glittering luster and permanence are the foundations of the gilding technique.

The gilding process has changed little since the days of the Greeks, and the modern gilding method is little more than refinements in tools and materials. The Pharaohs of Egypt patronized this incredible art from the Sumerians of Babylon. Pyramids and Hanging Gardens are the known legendary world wonders where pure gold is intensely used for its embellishment. The scintillating brilliance of gold in the Pyramids for thousands of years is a continuing result of the art of gilding.
