Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art and Science of Gilding: A Hand Book of Information for the Picture Framer During the past few years, we have received many requests from retail picture frame dealers for information that would enable them to do their own re-gilding. Books have been written on the subject; but nothing practical has ever been published. Having followed the trade of Picture Framing and Gilding for nearly thirty years, we have put into this little volume some of the knowledge acquired; and have endeavored to explain the different processes used by gilders. In a factory, an apprentice has to work about four years before he is looked upon as a competent gilder. Even then, there is much necessary information that he may not have acquired. Employers and foremen usually keep secret many of the formulas, and give the workmen the materials mixed, ready for use. In this book, all of these formulas are given, with explicit directions for compounding them; and with its aid, one with ordinary intelligence and a few weeks of practice, can do very creditable work. The beginner will doubtless be awkward and clumsy, especially in handling the leaf; but a little practice will soon overcome the difficulty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An excerpt from the beginning of the first chapter. In using the word "gilding," we do not refer to gold plating; but to the process of applying gold or silver leaf to a moulding or frame, as it is practiced by the picture frame manufacturers and dealers. There are two styles of dull gold work; oil gold and matte gold. (These are produced by different processes which will be explained.) In contrast to these dull effects is the bright or burnished gold. In doing over old work, it is customary to burnish the parts that were originally burnished; but on new work, the gilder has to select the parts that it is advisable to burnish. Sometimes it will be the entire top of the ornament; but usually, to give the best effects, the higher parts are selected. On the smooth parts of the frame, the concave places (called hollows) and the convex parts (called beads) are the parts generally burnished. It will be found that the hollows and beads are easier to burnish than the flats, and the wider the flat, the harder it is to accomplish good work. As a great amount of the gilding done in retail stores is the refinishing of old frames, we will take up this class of work first and more in detail. We wish to impress on the beginner as strongly as possible, the necessity of preparing the frame. If it is not prepared properly, good work cannot be done. It is just as essential to have the preliminary work carefully executed, as any other part of the process. This work, if slighted by the gilder, will in time come to light; and it will be necessary to re-gild the frame.
