Some examples of frames that have been gilded this week. Top is 12ct white gold on black bole, next is 23.5ct gold burnished over black bole, middle is 23.5ct on grey bole, then second from bottom is the top frame after it has been painted, the bottom frame is 23.5ct on Baroque brown bole. I always gild first and then do the painted sections after.
