How do you apply gold leaf to furniture?

I have an idea about applying gold leaf to paper/vellum as in manuscript painting and calligraphy: by mixing gum arabic and gold leaf to the consistency of a paste or paint, is that correct? would this be durable enough for furniture or is there another technique?
