Talk:Mercury silvering

The statement about the technique having been a medieval invention seems questionable, given that mercury gilding was used in Ancient Roman objects. Better references are certainly needed. Charles Matthews (talk) 05:48, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

There is a very thorough, detailed description of this process in the section headed "Gilding" which, from the wording, looks as though it has come from a contemporary source. Could that piece be added here? It would help this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.187.35.194 (talk) 09:40, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
