Restrained Gilding: Just Fine Lines

A very small amount of Neoclassical gilding. Gold only appears in the finest details: the thin inner edge of wainscoting panels, the outer ring of relief medallions, the lines of mirror frames, the framework of candelabras. It is a thin layer of gold leaf, with a warm, dark gold color rather than a bright plated gold; the total area is less than two percent. Most of the reliefs remain white. Avoid: using large areas of gold leaf and gold decoration, gilding entire sets of moldings, using bright electroplated gold, letting gold become the dominant impression of the space.

一組極少量的新古典金飾。金只出現在最細的位置:護牆板格子的內側細邊、浮雕獎章的外圈、鏡框的線條、燭台的骨架。它是薄薄一層的貼金,顏色是溫潤的暗金而不是明亮的鍍金;總面積不到百分之二。大部分的浮雕仍然是白色的。避免:使用大面積的貼金與金色裝飾、把整組線腳都貼金、使用明亮的電鍍金色、讓金色成為空間的主要印象。
