The use of hand tooled gilding, is by its very nature a staple of The Gilded Age. No card in our collection better showcases the masterful technique of hand applying and hand tooling gold.
"Angels we have Heard" presented on a stunning cobalt ground, provides a rich background for the magnificent gold workmanship of this card. The wings of our angel are striking with their ethereal use of shell gold and the capital A as a focal point of the card, showcases master craftsmanship of ancient gilding technique.
