Interesting article in the NY Times about gilding:

Our midas moment from galleries to artisans

I highly recommend the Gouthiere exhibit mentioned in the article, currently up at the Frick:

Jacob Desmalter - Premier Ebeniste of the Empire & Restauration

Here is a website that may be of interest to you. I have met several people recently that have had great success in restoration and find it a fascinating topic. Most of the things the we have had restored are either ceramics or oil paintings. In any event you may enjoy this website.
