gilding toleware sconces



Since I had the Rub N Buff out to lighten the dark hardware of the buffet I painted last weekend, I thought I would finally gold leaf the set of my Nana's Italian toleware sconces that used to be in her yellow kitchen.



 I placed some of my striped Anna candles in them. Looks so pretty, adds a feminine touch to the family room, decorating narrow walls on each side of a set of three large windows. Also compliments gold leaf frames on other walls in the same space. Had to peel off the segmented wax drips after seeing this shot. I might add some dark wax to add dimension and patina to the sconces. What do you think?
