thanks vance.
no gilding involved, just gold metallic paint.

i used a scumble glaze made of burnt sienna and acrylic clear to make the painted corner flourishes look aged.

thanks again.

Mark, a very nice piece. Now if you tell us where you shipped it we will really know where the Department of They is. :lol:

What are the applied corner pieces, wood, resin casting, or?
