turquoise and gold vase

<< < (2/2)

Frank:
You can probably get the gold restored quite easily. It will not be exactly the same colour but it is always best when doing such restorations to let the restoration be obvious - plus it would cost a lot to remove the existing gold and do the lot again. Of course, the new gold leaf will be cold applied and thus more easily worn off again but it will give a better appearance without causing harm.

Would that sort of restoration effect value, Frank? Or is the value reduced by the original damage and won't be made any less by a reversable restoration for appearance?

PS thanks for fixing the log in! It was driving me nuts.

Frank:
Such a restoration is reversible and just improves the apperance.
