| This is a 22k Gold Sgraffito frame. A template was made for the corner designs and the panels feature burnished and matte squares. The matte squares and the area around the corner design feature punchwork that greatly enhances the overall look of the frame. The corners and the squares are carefully burnished so that they contrast with the rest of the frame. The pictures show the final steps of the gold work as patches are added to any spots that are missing gold. When the gold is perfect the frame is ready for the final finishing and toning. |
