The letters and ornamental border on this piece were carefully glue-chipped, then gilded with 23k gold. This set also uses matte pale gold and 23k gold for some of the intricate border and inner detailing. The rich red panel behind the main lettering was applied with a transparent glaze and backed up with varigated leaf for a subtle molted background. An outline and shade appear around the main lettering as you catch a little reflection through the glaze. The blended background sets off the beautiful color scheme.
The Auto Livery edition is exactly the same size as Canyon Road House and makes use of the same frame. They make a stunning pair!
