Charbonnel oil-based gilding mixture is an adhesive specially formulated to secure gold leaf to non-porous surfaces such as glass, metal, or marble. Renowned worldwide, the dome of the Palais des Invalides in Paris, as well as the flame of the Statue of Liberty in New York, were created using Charbonnel gilding mixture.
