Customer brought in these lions , their Russian made for a large Baroque cabinet. It has been in her family for years and she said it didn't fit in her home so she wanted to keep the lions. These were once gilded many moons ago. I found reminiscences of gilt under paint and crud. 23.5 Ct. gold. Love working with gold. The under painting is an oil used for gilding. 3 coats and rubbed out after each coat.
 
Neat, glad to see you're getting back to full production mode, we've missed the cool projects you end up with.

Seems like a challenge to get the foil to evenly cover with all of curly bits in the carving there.
 
Funny looking lions they look like strange cats guess they medieval. Lol
You sure get some interesting work Dave.
BTW how's the painting coming on?? We ain't seen any new ones for a while???
