Gilding is a unique technique that includes decorating art and architectural works with thin metal leafs, usually in 24 karat gold, silver or a variegated array of copper, aluminum and brass. This finish brings profound detail to architectural elements including moldings, ornaments, cabinetry, wall surfaces and ceilings. In medieval painting gold had a special iconographic significance, as a symbol of light and that tradition is still profound in Europe. The professionals at APR are versed in several gilding methods.
