Oratory Two

There were a few different parts to refreshing and brightening the look of this oratory with gold leaf gilding. Firstly the beautiful wooden crucifix was painted and gilded with pure gold. Next, the dark wooden frames surrounding the crucifix was gilded with dutch metal and given a warm-toned patina. Finally the frames of the stained glass that flanks both sides of the crucifix were given the same treatment as those surrounding it.
