The Regilded Age

By: The Society of Gilders

This comprehensive catalog of gilded objects is from the 1991 exhibit at The Newark Museum sponsored by The Society of Gilders. It offers a look at both past and present gilded objects, with an emphasis on frames. The catalog is presented in three parts: detailed information on over 30 historical frames from 1870 to 1950; extensive technical information on the gilding process; and illustrations of the many contemporary gilded objects including frames, artwork, and signs.
