Patina (Antique dark color)

“Patina” is an Italian word that refers to the color of the frame. Making an astonishing Patina is one of the major skills of the Gilder in order to make seem this Reproduction Renaissance Frame as an original one. To complete this process Gilders use some different kinds of stones to hit the frame and create some fake tiny broken parts. In addition, the worm halls are fake as well and you will be able to see them analyzing deeply the picture detail above. As a result, any damaged little part of the frame is just a part of a bigger plane.
