Description

A decorated paper embossed with gold or silver in patterns that often imitated brocade and damask prints. Dutch gilt paper, popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, was prepared by placing a thin sheet of metal foil over a piece of colored paper. A design, such as a pattern of vines, was then stamped onto the paper using a stencil.
