History: 'What is Tole'? The word Tole comes from the French, meaning lacquered or enamelled metal-ware, often gilded. It also means a table or board.
In Traditional Tole, Oil paint was, and still is, the medium used. Two or more colors are loaded into the brush to complete each element of the design, painted wet-on-wet with one stroke of the brush. (Tole is often referred to as 'one stroke painting') All the elements are then built up to complete the design, with fruit, flowers and leaves being the main components. Gilding is hardly ever used these days, its heyday seems to have been from 1790's to 1870's.
