Parcel gilt cassetta



This cassetta frame sample is another one I made ages ago but never put a photo up of the end result. Made up from three mouldings, the walnut flat section has a heavy dirt patina, and the corner scrolls are intended to look rustic and provincial. The gilding is quite rubbed through with wax and rottenstone finish. I think I may do some more distressing on this sample, really just give it some more authentic dents, scratches and aging effects.
