Reference: gilder/ gold leafer

Reference information:
A gold leafer (gilder) is what you do to apply gold leaf to arcgitechtural ornaments, usually some type of plaster. Domes in buildings and domes on top!

Jaci decided, foolishly in hindsight, to gold leaf all of the mouldings, not realising that if the mouldings had been laid end to end they would have reached China! A slight exaggeration but it was very labour intensive and time consuming. She had to call in the assistance of a traditional gold leafer, Ralf Greenback. http://www.rowtoncastle.com/history/jacivianna/index.aspx
Gilding is the technique of applying a thin layer of gold to a surface. Gilding is performed through a mechanical process, known as leafing, or using one of many chemical processes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilding
