Oil and water gilding can be done in gold, platinum, silver, bronze, or aluminum. Water gilding can be burnished to yield a highly polished, real "solid" metal appearance if not rubbed through to colored bole beneath. Many 17th or 18th century moldings or carved trim that were gilded utilized water gilding.
