Use of Gold: One Mirror and a Few Lines

A vintage French room where gold is strictly controlled. Gold appears in only two or three places: an old gold-framed mirror leaning against the wall or hung above the fireplace, the slender brass rod of a lamp, and the brass door handles. These golds are oxidized dark golds, not bright plated golds; parts of the gold leaf on the gold-framed mirror's surface are worn away, revealing the base material. The total area is very small.
Avoid: using large areas of gold decoration and gilded furniture, using shiny plated gold, stacking gold elements in multiple locations, using brand new, perfectly intact gold leaf frames.

一個金色被嚴格控制的復古法式房間。金色只出現在兩三個地方:一面靠牆或掛在壁爐上方的舊金框鏡、一盞燈的黃銅細桿、以及門把的黃銅。這些金都是氧化過的暗金,不是明亮的鍍金;金框鏡的表面有部分金箔已經磨掉露出底材。總面積很小。避免:使用大面積的金色裝飾與描金家具、使用亮面電鍍的金色、在多個位置堆疊金色元素、使用全新完好的金箔框。
