Gilding: area does not exceed five percent of the picture

Strictly controlled gilding. Gold appears in only three places: mirror frames, the outermost line of moldings, and the arms of candelabras and wall sconces; all are antique gold, not bright gold, with uneven surfaces left by hand-applied gold leaf. The total area does not exceed five percent of the image. Avoid: using large areas of gold leaf and gold furniture, choosing bright polished gold, having silver and copper metals appear simultaneously, using gold on door panels and cabinets.

一組被嚴格控制的鍍金。金只出現在三個地方:鏡框、線腳最外側的一道線,以及燭台與壁燈的臂;全部是暗金而不是亮金,表面有手工貼金留下的不均勻。面積加起來不超過畫面的百分之五。避免:使用大面積的金箔與金色家具、選用亮面拋光的金、讓金屬同時出現銀與銅、把金色用在門片與櫃體上。
