749 Practical Gilding

‘Practical Gilding’ by McTaggart has the aim of demystifying the processes of gilding

Descriptions and explanations of the materials, equipment and traditional, professional methods of oil and water gilding are clearly set out in a manner that can be understood both by craftsmen and those who wish to understand and apply these methods.

Originally conceived as a pamphlet for musical instrument makers, the authors soon discovered that by expanding the text they had written a book that would be an essential guide for craftspeople, conservators, gilders, picture framers, decorative artists, antique dealers, art collectors and many more. 

A standard work and essential reading for any would-be gilder. This Archetype edition is a facsimile of the original book published by Mac & Me Ltd.
