Patina (aging process)
“Patina” is an Italian word that refers to how dark and old the frame looks. Apart from dark gold, the age of a frame is determined by a few cracks and tiny broken parts around the sides. For this purpose, our gilder hits its surfaces with stones.
Also, the wormholes are simulated; you can notice them by deeply analyzing the pictures above. Wormholes do not indicate activity within or a recent flight of beetles. Remember that we faked them to age this Renaissance frame reproduction precisely.
See below a video showing how to darken the gold.
