As early as 800 BC, polimented gilding with ornamentation may be found. In historical sources such as the Lucca Manuscript of the 9th century AD, the Trattatto della Pittura von Cennino Cennini, a famous Renaissance work, the Tegernseer Manuscript and others, numerous gilding formulae have been passed down.

Astrid Wührl has assimilated these traditions and has furthered her knowledge and practical experience during her substantial training and her long standing professional career.

Oil-based gold plating that is common in the Middle East climate, is applicable to almost every kind of surface, but they less shiny than the poliment gold plating.
