	I have an signed and numbered edition of Erte's Pillow Swing. Many years ago a dealer in Chicago saw the piece and made reference to the beautiful frame. Rosewood (I think) with a gold leaf inlay design. The dealer actually wanted the frame more than the serigraph citing that it was actually designed by Erte. Is this possible? Does anyone know if he designed frames, in rare cases, for his works.

	Dear Mr; Gold leaf has been used for centuries to gild items, plain and ornate, to make them look like they were made of pure gold. Gold leaf is available alone or in a kit as a simulated gold, in other types of metallic leaf or almost pure gold. The leaf is so incredibly thin that, although it's made under the strictest of conditions there are always a few specks of dust to contaminate the gold, making it just slightly less than pure. Gilding is the adornment of a surface with gold or metal leaf. The tissue thin leaf is magical. It creates a warmth and luster that is unachievable with any other material. It transforms the ordinary into the remarkable. It adds distinction to what may otherwise be overlooked. From ancient times to the present, picture frames, furniture, signs, architectural details, moldings, domes and precious objects have all been transformed by the application of leaf.
