Robert Frese began the study of traditional signmaking in his hometown of Long Beach, California.
He was an apprentice for six years at Hardy Sign Co., beginning in 1976.he learned sign painting and fabrication.
After his apprenticeship, Robert spent the next two years working for Creative Signs in Orange County, California, that specialized in real estate development signage.
Attracted to the artistry of the past and the beautiful gold leaf signage, Robert moved to Chicago in 1984.
He went to work for F.O. Carlson & Co.he learned to work with gold leaf; after a couple of years, "I developed enough confidence to work on my own.

Angel Gilding vs Gold Leaf - techniques for gilding glass
angelgilding.com, 24 Nov 2009 [cached]2In October 2007 Robert Frese of Chicagold Signs told me that he would need 32 gold leaves to gild one square foot of glass perfectly.
At that time the spot price of gold was $750 a Troy ounce and a book of 500 gold leaves cost about $635.
Robert's 32 gold leaves would have cost him $40.
He could have Angel Gilded the glass for $18.
