Pair Of Candlesticks In Golden Wood At La Mecca.

Pair of candlesticks in carved and gilded wood à la mecca. Do you know? Mecca gilding is a gilding technique that comes to us from Italy. It consists in applying silver leaves, which are much less expensive, which are then covered with a "mecca" varnish to imitate gold. Which gives a very pale gilding, with inimitable reflections. Also called "gilding of the poor" at the time, it is now very popular with great connoisseurs.
