Gold Leaf (Restoration)

Restoration project of a dilapidated tray using a black and gold leaf design.

The medium was multiple coats of oil paint based markers, making the tray waterproof. Beforehand, water was what caused its metal to start rusting as well as its original paint to flake off.

For comparison, here's photographs of the tray both before and after:
