The Book of Gilding by Liz Wagstaff
Used to embellish artefacts and interiors fit for kings and to adorn icons and places of worship, gilding's history is as magnificent as its shimmering appearance. But gilding is not only appropriate for palaces and antiques - and the full decorative possibilities of the technique are explored and explained in this practical guide. The book explores contemporary approaches to this ancient art, revealing how to gild and enhance all manner of decorative items. Over 40 projects ideas are presented, with step-by-step photographs to lead the reader through every stage. There are gilded chairs, table and frames; frosted glass and tiles; and decorative treatments for large and small accessories, from urns, statues and flowerpots to tiny items such as nuts, pinecones and shells.| SKU | Unavailable |
