Still from the instructional video "Creating a Mirror on Glass: Silver & Gold"
Angel gilding is gilding glass or gold plating by electroless chemical deposition.
Gold chloride is dissolved in water, mixed with other chemicals and poured on clean glass that has been treated with stannous chloride.[1] The gold layer is delicate and usually translucent. To make an opaque, affordable and adherent mirror, a layer of silver is deposited over the gold.[2] Glass gilders use the term angel gilding to distinguish the chemical process from gold leaf gilding also known as verre églomisé.
