Or for gilded metals generally, you could use the more generic "vermeil" (pronounced "vair may") that describes bronze, silver or brass that's gilded.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />BuzzAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01049237488542387736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7222812940463973440.post-47471956485880044112009-11-07T20:08:54.100-08:002009-11-07T20:08:54.100-08:00Hi, Buzz!

Gotta ask a question though.<br /><br />I see the term "giltwood" used pretty frequently, sometimes to describe items I don't think are actually made of wood. If the gilded piece isn't wooden -- for example, if it's plaster -- what's the proper gilt____ word . . . if there is one?<br /><br />Thanks a mill!Diananoreply@blogger.com
