Središnji sadržaj

The gilding set consists of gold leaves in cardboard covers (KB-408), round cardboard box with gold powder (KB-418), and agate for gilding (KB-432). Judging by the French inscription on the round box Gold poudre, it is most likely of French production. The handle for gilding bears the inscription D.R.G.M. (Deutsches Reich Gebrauchsmuster / German Reich Registered Design), which is also found on the candlesticks with an angel (KB-192/1-2), hence we assume it is of German production. The origin of the gold leaves is unknown as they only bear a handwritten inscription Zlato za pozlaćivanje (Gold for gilding).
