- Brocade Fabric - Brocade fabric is a decorative fabric that features raised designs, often made of silk or other fine materials. The designs are typically created using a jacquard loom, which allows for intricate patterns to be woven into the fabric. Brocade fabrics are often used for formal wear and home decor, such as curtains and upholstery.
- Giltwood - Giltwood is used to describe a gold finish on furniture and other decorative wooden items, whereby a thin sheet of gold metal, called gold leaf, is applied to the surface for decorative purposes.
Unlike gilding, where the gold leaf is applied over a coating of gesso, with giltwood the gold leaf is applied direct to the surface, or over a coat of linseed oil gold leaf adhesive.
Most gold-finished mirrors will be gilded, whereas furniture with gold highlights will have the gold applied through the giltwood method.
