A gilder is someone who applies metal leaf - thin sheets of precious metals,
usually gold. Gilders might work in the jewelry or furniture trades, but
most of them worked either in construction or in signmaking, applying gold leaf
to storefront lettering, church steeples, and other decorative work.

Rather rejoice that the thornbush has a rose.
