The Chinese Art Centre.

These are some of the Articles that have been Gilded. What are they worth?  The Chinese Bookkeeper works out the amount of time the object took to Gild. Then puts a price on them. Then the public can buy them back if they want. The Plastic 6inch Ruler (top right ) now gilded works out about £7. I asked what kind of Gold they were using, and was told (Dutch Gold). Researched Dutch Gold on the Net, and found that (Dutch Gold Leaf) has no Gold in it. It's made from Copper and Brass with a bit of Zinc thrown in. It is for sale in Craft Shops in Holland.
