I think the first reference to an altar covered in gold is Aaron. When Moses was receiving the ten commandments from God at the top of the mountain and Aaron was in charge of all the people. They used the gold jewelry of the people to build an altar but it was a pagan tradition so when moses came down from the mount he broke the tablets God had written the 10 commandements on out of anger. But, obviously if the people knew to make an altar of gold they had seen someone do it before. The first sacrafices were Cain and Abel after God had blessed their work.

What furniture was in Solomon's Temple?

He also made the pots and shovels and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished all the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of the Lord: the two pillars; the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars; the two sets of network decorating the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars; the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network decorating the bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars); the ten stands with their ten basins; the Sea and the twelve bulls under it; the pots, shovels and sprinkling bowls. All these objects that Huram made for King Solomon for the temple of the Lord were of burnished bronze.The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan.Solomon left all these things unweighed, because there were so many; the weight of the bronze was not determined. Solomon also made all the furnishings that were in the Lord's temple: the golden altar; the golden table on which was the bread of the Presence; the lampstands of pure gold (five on the right and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary); the gold floral work and lamps and tongs; the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes and censers; and the gold sockets for the doors of the innermost room, the Most Holy Place, and also for the doors of the main hall of the temple. When all the work King Solomon had done for the temple of the Lord was finished, he brought in the things his father David had dedicated-the silver and gold and the furnishings-and he placed them in the treasuries of the Lord's temple.(1 Kings 7:40-51)
