Patina (Antique dark color)

“Patina” is an Italian word that refers to the tone and age of the gold. Making an astonishing Patina is one of the major skills of the gilder.

To realize the Patina gilders use a variety of stones to hit the frame surface and create micro broken parts on it. Later on, they darken the gold applying several hands of dark shellac.

In other words, Patina is used to fake the age that reproductions must show. Even the wormholes are fake, in fact, you will be able to catch them analyzing the picture above.

In conclusion, any little damage on the gilded surface is deliberately made by us to age the frame.
